This book was released on 2008 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process through which most aspiring superintendents are prepared for their craft, university-based superintendent preparation programs, have for some time been assailed by an array of nationally respected critics and organizations. The basis of their disparagement is grounded in the wide-ranging conclusion that these programs are out of kilter with the present day specialized needs of would-be school executives. The critics draw support for their perspective by accentuating the observation that the contemporary university-based superintendent preparation process has stagnated while transformation in the work of superintendents has evolved noticeably, especially within the last twenty-five years. This study develops a framework for intensive assessment of attributes and components of current university-based superintendent preparation programs as the beginning point of a larger discussion that reconsiders their efficacy and effectiveness. Secondly, the study amasses broad insight from the current literature and from experts in the field regarding how the effort to recreate these programs must be approached as well as who should be at the table for these negotiations to engender productive outcomes. The data that spring from this study should be rich with fresh insight and, as such, should be given ample consideration as professional associations continue to push forward in the struggle for answers to how these programs might be redesigned. At the very least, it will provide several significant clues for future action and should result in a more thoughtful discussion around this issue. In-depth interviews with veteran practicing superintendents as well as nationally prominent scholars add significant value and merit to the study and suggest that its findings and conclusions are deserving of consideration by educators, policymakers, and scholars alike.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the self-perception of leadership styles of practicing female superintendents in Texas and how their preferred leadership style affected their performance. The study posed the following questions:(1) What are the preferred leadership styles of the practicing female superintendents in Texas as measured by Bolman & Deal's (2003) four frames of leadership? (2) What are the predominant behaviors that female superintendents in Texas identify within each frame of leadership? (3) How do the preferred leadership styles and behaviors influence the superintendents' every day performance? This study was relied on a mixed method approach, quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative component involved surveying 50 female superintendents, using the Leadership Orientations (Self-Report) survey (Bolman & Deal, 1990). The qualitative component included a semi-structured interview which asked follow up questions with six selected female superintendents (two from rural, two from suburban, and two from urban districts) who consented to the interview regarding the influence of their leadership preferences. The findings suggest participants' preferred leadership style relates to the Human Resource frame which include: being an inspirational leader, utilizing interpersonal skills, making good decisions; as well as, coaching and developing people. Findings also suggest that predominant behaviors include: supporting others, building trusting relationships through collaboration, and being participative. The preferred leadership styles and behaviors' influence on female superintendents' everyday performance resulted in embracing collaboration, being transparent, sharing a vision, being passionate, and building trusting relationships. Additionally, beliefs and behaviors that lead to success include: being honest, depersonalize the situations, education makes a difference, adopt flexibility, and power to make decisions. The characteristics that lead to success are: being spiritual, being organized, being committed, and willing to help others. Furthermore, the following advice was offered: learn to cope with high level of visibility, become knowledgeable of the district's needs and characteristics, and develop a professional image. Finally, implications for aspiring female superintendents, superintendent preparation programs and school boards members are also presented.
