Career TransitionsSchool Administrator, March 2018
You鈥檒l find full-length articles, for instance, on the phenomenon of school system leaders who with their interests and skills and the notion that are being viewed less unfavorably in some quarters. Those are also angles I鈥檓 seeing reported about corporate leaders in the pages of The Wall Street Journal.
We鈥檝e also called on Hank Gmitro, who leads the country鈥檚 busiest superintendent search company, Hazard Young Attea, to contribute twice. Gmitro, an ex-superintendent, describes, first, he sees playing out in the superintendent search arena and, second, what he thinks those who become candidates in a search ought to look for in the .
You鈥檒l also want to read Stephen Joel鈥檚 of what legacy can mean in the superintendency.
Lots of good reading, and I look forward to your feedback
