About the Book

Newly appointed school administrators are often confused when faced with the prospect of having to assume a leadership role in a complex organization like a school or school system. Where does one start? An effective method would be to systematically examine the vital components that make up an organization. A system of organizational diagnosis and prescription will lead to a comprehensive and integrated analysis of the organization's strengths and weaknesses and point the way toward possible improvement. The new edition of Educational Administration: Leading with Mind and Heart suggests such a sequential and systematic approach. Utilizing it effectively can produce dramatic results.

About the Author :
Robert H. Palestini has been an educator for almost fifty years, serving as a high school science teacher, principal, superintendent of schools, and university dean. He is currently dean emeritus and professor of educational leadership, as well as the founding executive director of the Educational Leadership Institute and Center for Catholic Urban Education at Saint Joseph's University.

Review :
Dr. Palestini's new edition of Educational Administration: Leading with Mind and Heart explores the need for leaders to develop a leadership framework on both practical and theoretical levels. By examining the important components of an organization like a school or school system, leaders and aspiring leaders are able to identify its strengths and weaknesses on the way to implementing the changes needed for improvement. This book will be fascinating as well as reflective reading for today's leaders and provide a great springboard for discussion in leadership groups. I look forward to using Dr. Palestini's book with my administrative team as a tool for examining our own organizational development and leadership qualities. Robert Palestini's new edition of Educational Administration: Leading with Mind and Heart speaks to the age. As Americans worry about the character and behavior of leaders in business, education, entertainment, sports, and public affairs, they fervently seek models of effective leadership that might inform and inspire them and their successors. Palestini draws on his own experience and on organizational development and leadership theory to discover critical qualities all organizations and their leaders must have to be effective. Palestini's book takes a common-sense approach to issues of leadership and organizational development, resulting in a book that will inform, inspire, and encourage leaders to examine their leadership behavior in the light of the need to lead with both mind and heart. Literature on leadership often fails to include a clear connection between theory and practice. Educational Leadership details the characteristics and behaviors manifested by educational leaders in the form of case studies and discusses how their behavior was informed by leadership and organizational development theory. I have known Robert Palestini and observed his leadership practices for a number of years, and his book demonstrates how one can become a very effective leader in his or her personal and professional life. I believe that his newest edition will prove to be an invaluable resource for leaders at various levels not only within the educational arena, but in business, politics, and family life. There is no better way to learn about leadership than to examine case studies looking for the habits of mind and heart that enable leaders to make a difference. That's just what Robert Palestini does in Educational Administration, taking readers on a journey through the vital components of an organization like a school and the leadership skills needed to effectively administer such an organization. Anyone interested in educational leadership and organizational development should find much to like in Palestini's new book.
