Publisher Description:

When you become a Multiplier, your whole team succeeds!

Why do some leaders double their team's effectiveness, while others seem to drain the energy right out of the room? Using insights gained from more than 100 interviews with school leaders, this book pinpoints the five disciplines that define how Multipliers bring out the best across their schools. By practicing these disciplines, you'll learn how to:

  • Attract top teachers to your school
  • Create an intense environment that demands people's best thinking
  • Drive sound decisions by constructing debate and decision-making forums
  • Give your team a sense of ownership for responsibilities and results
