In this book, Fullan shows how principals have been boxed into a narrow role that undercuts their ability to develop the whole school. He sheds light on how, in times of crisis, it’s all too easy for principals to do the wrong thing—to take actions that are ineffective or even counterproductive. Using case examples, Fullan shows how principals can develop “the internal system” of the school with teachers, students, and parents in order to be effective inside the school, while building relations with the district, and with outside partners.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Fullan is a master of unearthing the nuances of leadership that help create success.
