New Principal, No Problem: Leading a Winning Culture Without Losing Your Mind
New Principal, No Problem: Leading a Winning Culture Without Losing Your Mind by Dr. Elvis Epps examines educational leadership and all the social, political, human capital, and community complexities influencing the nature of school administration today. Framed from actual stories from his own vast, in-depth personal trials and tribulations, Dr. Epps takes readers on a unique journey through his eyes, paying particular attention to each stage of a school leader’s evolution, including what the general public cannot imagine exists in the field of educational leadership. From the more significant implications to building community and collaboration, self-reflection, accountability, communication, and effective decision-making to the mobilizing collective action in schools and society in the twenty-first century, Dr. Epps clearly is advancing the conversation on the qualitative impact the Principalship has on individuals personally beyond the quantitative analytics educational research many times overlooks or fails to explore.
