A good IT manager must also be a strong business leader. This book invites you to accompany new CIO Jim Barton to better understand the role of IT in your organization. You'll see Jim struggle through a challenging first year, handling (and fumbling) situations that, although fictional, are based on true events.

Have you ever imagined yourself as a teacher leader but weren't quite sure whether you really had—or could develop—the necessary skills? Have you wondered what the first steps toward becoming a teacher leader might be, what kinds of approaches work best, and how you could overcome the inevitable challenges that come with leading your colleagues on a journey toward improvement as professionals? Authors Rebecca Mieliwocki (California and National Teacher of the Year for 2012) and Joseph Fatheree (Illinois Teacher of the Year for 2007) answer these questions and more in this engaging guide to becoming a successful teacher leader. Organized around five key tools—communication, collaboration, professional development, data, and advocacy—the book covers every aspect of what is involved in taking on leadership responsibilities. Firsthand accounts of the authors' experiences and those of more than a dozen other State Teachers of the Year describe the various pathways to leadership, strategies for success, and pitfalls to avoid. These teacher voices add powerful credibility to the research on teacher leadership and show how leaders can not only improve their schools and districts but also influence state and national policies and practices. Both informative and inspiring, Adventures in Teacher Leadership invites others to expand their professional reach, empower the profession of teaching, and, ultimately, make a big difference in the lives of students everywhere. This book is a copublication of ASCD and NNSTOY.

Download and read online ebook ADVENTURES IN LEADERSHIP write by Peter A. LaPorta. This book was released on 2014-02-21. ADVENTURES IN LEADERSHIP available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Leadership is strength. Leadership is unfailing. Leadership is the hand that picks you up when you fall, guides you when you are lost, and provides a beacon of light when all is a fog. Leadership is the conductor at the front of the orchestra, raising his baton in defining rhythm. Leadership is the coach on the sidelines cheering on his players regardless of what the scoreboard reads. Leadership is the parent who supports their child in all of their endeavors and provides a net of safety for them to soar over. Leadership is so much more than the mundane tasks of management and not so much about the fancy title and the power over others. Adventures in Leadership is a journey that encompasses all aspects of leadership. The good times and the bad; the mishaps, mistakes and mayhem all rolled into extraordinary days and sleepless nights. Adventures in Leadership will make you laugh through tales of hiring, firing and slapstick antics. It will make you cringe at the actions of leaders gone bad and shrink away from visions of death in the workplace. Four time best-selling author, Peter A. LaPorta, brings over 30 years of leadership excellence to the stories contained within Adventures in Leadership. You will marvel in wonder about tales from his leadership at Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and so many other companies. Come along for the ride and you will see the shining stars in the sky and the best of the best that set the level of excellence far above the rest. Peter A. LaPorta is an award-winning speaker, a motivational author, and a leader heralded all over the globe for his excellence. He is the acclaimed host of The Peter LaPorta Show as his words resonate to audiences everywhere. Traveling the globe, he spreads powerful messages of motivation and service.
