About this product
Product Information
This book explores ways in which educational leaders can apply the wisdom of the Tao in their day-to-day work in schools. It offers an alternative to the standard ways of western thinking to give the leader more possibilities when confronting a situation. We tend to value immediate and decisive action, winning, directing, and getting one's way. Taoist Lessons for Educational Leaders offers another way of approaching the workplace. We can also value waiting and reflection before acting, seeing all participants as winners or at least no one as a loser, following as a form of leadership, and giving away some victories, as beneficial to the governance of a school. There is more than one way to "win" and more than one way assert one's authority, as illustrated by this book.

Heller's careful review of the Taoist classics offers school leaders valuable points of reflection and inspiration for their work with students, teachers, and school boards. Drawing on his more than thirty years in education as a teacher, principal and curriculum expert, Heller provides useful case studies to deepen understanding. Taoist Lessons for Educational Leaders is a excellent resource for educators leading in our global context., In his new book, Dan Heller brings the wisdom of ancient Chinese texts to the day-to-day management of K-12 schools.
