Gary Marx has written an excellent resource for school leaders today who are constantly tasked with re-creating effective schools utilizing slimmer resources and internal structures that have remained relatively constant over the past half century.

The book gave implicit points on how to be an effective leader specifically in the area of communicating with stakeholders, developing a comprehensive plan, and estabishing people skills.

Future-Focused Leadership: Preparing Schools, Students, And Communities For Tomorrow's Realities by Gary Marx (President, Center for Public Outreach, Vienna, Virginia) is an intricate and detailed study and philosophical outlook on various strategies and understandings of organizing schooling facilities, students and environmentally involved citizens for a greatly potential driven future for not only youth, but as well the general community. Exploring the realities of social direction as varying trends and outside influences take a community through differing involvements and activities, Future-Focused Leadership informs both educators and community leaders of what best may suit the pursuit and education of their potential future leaders. Future-Focused Leadership is very strongly recommended to educators, school counselors, and building principles and school board members.

I had to purchase the book for a class. The book was in great condition and the delivery was very timely. I will continue to order through Amazon.
