Críticas:

"David Steinberg has written a unique and imaginative reflection on the concepts of effective leadership. As an experienced educator in the classroom, in the school office, and at the central office level, he connects the realities of our day-to-day work in schools to the extensive research in educational leadership. Using familiar tunes and the life experiences of the composers, David guides us through the important characteristics of truly effective leaders, far beyond the nuts and bolts of good management. This is a refreshing and inspirational book for anyone who hopes to lead others." --Jerry Perlet, Former Principal and Washington Post Distinguished Leader
