Going Back to the Future: A Leadership Journey for Educators

By Robert Palestini and Robert Palestini Ed.D Professor of Educational Leadership Emeritus; Former Dean of Graduate and C

Book Overview

Edmund Burke, the British Statesman and philosopher, said that those who don't know history are destined to repeat it. In this book, at least as far as educational leadership is concerned, Robert Palestini helps ensure that we do not fall into the trap of ignoring history. Dr. Palestini rightly points out that effective leaders have been utilizing the same leadership behavior for centuries. He uses this evidence to support the perennial and lasting impact of situational leadership theory which posits that no single way of leading works in all situations. Rather, appropriate leadership behavior depends on the circumstances at a given time.
