"In this book, author Tom Sergiovanni presents nine value-added dimensions, emphasizing leadership over management, performance over participation, meaning over manipulation, purpose over planning, accountability over monitoring, intrinsic over extrinsic motivation, collegiality over congeniality, and passion over calculation. In addition, he explains how to employ these qualities through four critical stages of school improvement -- from initiation to routinization. Sergiovanni also shows how value-added leadership can empower teachers, build community, and provide competitive advantage."--Publisher description.
