Description

"Educational leadership is never conflict free. In Responding to Resistance: Thirty Strategies to Manage Conflict in Your School, author William A. Sommers acknowledges this reality and presents a wide-ranging set of response strategies. This book equips school and district leaders with a repertoire of skills that will allow them to react professionally and effectively when conflicts inevitably arise. Because leaders cannot prevent or even resolve all conflict, this practical resource focuses on ways to address problems openly and decisively. Whether it involves staff members, students, parents, or other stakeholders, poorly managed conflict can consume a great deal of a leader's time and energy. The commonsense tools in this book will help leaders respond to conflict efficiently in order to provide more time for improving learning in their schools"--
