Book Description

"An encyclopedic compilation of insights on the major issues confronting school principals. Suggestions are concrete, sensible, and approachable."
From the Foreword by Roland S. Barth

Here's the essential information you need to succeed - whether you're starting your first principalship or moving to a new post. You'll find out how to sharpen your crucial problem-solving skills. Make good decisions quickly, without second-guessing yourself. Develop a proactive approach and address small concerns before they become big problems. Alvy and Robbins offer you ideas, strategies, and words of wisdom gleaned from practical experience to help you prepare for anything a school leader might encounter.

You'll learn how to

Manage your time to best advantage
Boost staff morale
Rally community support for your school
Advocate for every program, student, and teacher
Provide staff members with meaningful evaluation and professional guidance
Develop strong, healthy relationships with staff members
Practice purposeful visibility

Let teachers, students, and your school community see you on the campus, not just in your office. Focus on the real center of your school - the classrooms - and visit each class regularly. Make sure you ask the right questions of your staff, your students, and the community. Be observant, and do what you can to learn every day - especially from your mistakes. The authors suggest expanding your expertise by forging relationships with experts you can call on for advice. Join or start a network with other principals. Cultivate a core group you can count on for a second opinion, as a sounding-board, or for emotional support.

The authors bring considerable expertise to this book. Alvy, after serving a school principal for more than a decade, recently began a new position as principal at Singapore American School. Robbins has worked with school principals for twenty-six years, designing and delivering training for principals' academies, among other things. Who benefits from your excellence as a school leader? You, your staff, parents, and the community - but most of all, your students

Breaking the Constraints to World Class Performance.......2006-03-10

The book contains good overview information and good sample cases. The sample for future CRT sections seem to disconnect from the current CRT. This is very strange. Overall is good.

Excelent book about the theory of constrains.......2002-11-18

Contains an step by step general methodology for analizing problems by identifing the chains of causes and effects. It can be applied to solve business problems and analize personal situations. It is a very practical thinking process that you can use in a diversified variety of situations. Really powerfull. The book is very well written with examples of the use of the different tools of analysis: the current reality tree, the future reality tree, the conflict resolution diagram, the negative branch, the prerequisite tree and the transition tree.

A World-Class Book.......2002-03-03

As someone who read the entire series of Goldratt's books and as someone who has been practicing TOC in project management for a few years, I rate this book '5 stars' only because six is not an option.

Step-by-step and in a didactic manner, Mr. Dettmer takes the reader into the world of TOC. If you read Goldratt's books and left with the test but without the 'know how' then this is the book for you.

Mr. Dettmer explains the basic building blocks and the terminology of the 'Thinking Process Toolkit' and he then, step by step, explains the 'how'.

How to build a Current Reality Tree - The tool for understanding the one core problem (few root causes) preventing your organization from achieving its goal.

How to discover and solve conflicts that cause your company to stagnate.

How to systematically verify that the solution you want to apply will actually lead to the desired effects, without causing other adverse ones.

How to systematically understand what conditions should be fulfilled in order to reach the company's goal, and how to build a 'winning plan' to achieve the goal.

I also read the first book of Mr. Dettmer on the subject (Goldratt's Theory Of Constraints) and I liked this one better.

At last, I think that every executive who wants to do something beneficial to his company should get this book.

Tip: Read Appendix D first and then go back to page one.

Your company could be world-Class........2001-04-12

"Breaking the Constraints to World-Class Performance" "Can this book really tell me how to do that, Man that would be great. Well yes I believe it does.

So what is stopping your company from getting better? Do you know? The body of knowledge called the Theory of Constraints says there is usually only one constraint stopping you from making progress toward your goal, maybe two. Well, if you want a way of finding out what it is, it is in this book. But more can be done than just finding it. This book will teach you how to eliminate or manage the constraint to your advantage.

This book explains in general and in specifics how to change. You must answer, what to change, what to change to, and How to cause the change. These are the beginning thoughts. But think of it if you knew the answers to these questions.

If you want to learn HOW to do Theory of Constraints, no matter what level of experience you may be, this book is a must have. It is one of the most valuable resources on TOC that exists. It shows you step by step how to do things and also why they work. It is easy to use; Mr. Dettmer has a remarkable talent for clarity

How long do you stay on top as a world-class performer if you are just sitting back enjoying it. Not very long these days. This book is about making dramatic improvements with simple solutions. But it is more correct to say it's about a continual improvement process. I recommend you read this book and give it strong consideration. You just may find a Gem for your company, a whole new culture of winning.

Great Book.......1999-12-02

The short and sweet is that I have read many books on TOC and this is at the TOP of the heap. It covers the whole range and makes for one stop shopping.

Comment from the Author (so my star rating is irrelevant).......2001-05-09

E-Business Best Practices. You are probably wondering: have any best practices been defined yet for E-Business? Well in truth, they probably haven't which is why this book is not about specific best practices but the types of software technology that will help you get there. It's full of simple ideas to help you implement your own drive towards best practice in your business.

The content is targeted at operational business managers, not technologists. It is intended to introduce topics and technologies from a business management perspective, not teach you how to program. However, the content is most likely to appeal to business managers in medium sized enterprises who can't rely on others to implement best practices for them.

A little control freakish.......2000-04-04

Admittedly, this book is now a little dated, but I just came across it at a friend's home and thought that I'd read it. There is many items worth looking at, but overall the information is available in other books and easier to find.

Excellent and incisive review of a difficult job function.......1999-10-24

This book covers many of the points that you always were one the verge of asking but never quite know how. You can tell from the way that the book is written that the authors are speaking from a great deal of experience. What is more, the writing style makes reading a pleasure. I have no hesitation in heartily recommending this book, which takes a much-needed view from the top down. I have had over 20 years experience in MarCom, so I can speak from experience myself.
