Successful principals today need skills in both management and leadership because both are essential to achieve success in all facets of running a schoolone is not necessarily more important than the other. However, there are not many books solely devoted to school management. Most work on school management is part of larger works on school administration.Managing Todays Schools: New Skills for School Leaders in the 21st Century is unique in that the focus on managerially operating a school does not hinder discussion on the interconnectedness between management and leadership. Additionally, emphasis is placed on 21st- century cutting-edge ideas about school management. Each chapter includes case study-type scenarios with thought-provoking questions that simultaneously summarize the chapter while also helping readers think about the ways they might put the ideas of the chapter into practice.
