商品簡介
It is one thing to begin that first day as principal surrounded by curious stares. It is another to begin surrounded by hostility, fear, or resigned submission. Serving as a classroom text, this provides practical methods and exercises based upon interviews with successful principles about how to face resistance to school change, particularly in the first stages. It defines the types and degrees of followers, identifies reluctant followers and their reasons for refusing to follow the leader, gives ways to assess the impact of personality on both leading and following, examines leadership characteristics and their impact on reluctant followers, covers how to motivate reluctant followers, gives communication strategies, shows how followers become leaders, and explains techniques for confronting those who will not change.
