Leadership
Tips for an Emerging P-20 Leader in the 21st Century
Edited by
Patricia Mitchell & Silvia Ramirez
“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.” — General Colin Powell
In Lessons in Leadership you will read about many inspiring, and dedicated leaders working in the American educational system. Some are just starting their careers, while others have been in the trenches for many years and have lots of experience and tips to pass on to our next generation of emerging leaders.
We hope by presenting each of these wonderful vignettes, it will perpetuate the kind of leadership in others that is needed in the 21st century. Some questions that will be answered are: “How do you get everyone on the same page?” With more baby boomers staying in the workforce, millennials and gen xers coming into the workforce, how does a leader navigate the terrain to maximize the strength of all the employees? “What are some tips that can be passed on to an emerging leader?” “Is there a list of dos and don’ts?” “How can you get your team to embrace change?”

Collaboration
and
Peak Performance
A Multidisciplinary Perspective for Emerging Leaders
Edited by
Patricia Mitchell & Silvia Ramirez
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
—Helen Keller
While the term “collaboration” is being uttered in our conversations on the job, all of us are collaborating every day. As you read this book, you will see that collaboration and peak performance have taken on a significant meaning in the perceptions of the authors assembled in the writing of this book. More than ever before, there is a need for organizations to work collaboratively in order to maximize the strengths and talents of its employees.
Collaboration and Peak Performance: A Multidisciplinary Perspective for Emerging Leaders provides evidence of collaboration in action. The 16 chapters in this book draw on research, theory and the work experiences of leaders, university faculty and doctoral students. To help emerging leaders, team members, team leaders and team consultants understand what they can do to foster collaboration for peak performance, this book begins with a discussion of collaboration- a must for success and ends with how inner and outer fulfillment will lead to self-awareness—a must for collaboration. Regardless of your position, the size of your organization, or the kind of customers you serve, this book is a must read!
