The School Board Playbook

One of the most anticipated books supporting educational leadership this year is being released just in time for positive impact for school leadership teams. The reviews describe The School Board Playbook, Winning Strategies to Champion Functionality written by Dr. Lee Pritzl as “just in time” and “inspirational for school leaders.” This book guides school boards and superintendents to measure their level of functionality and introduces the strategies and methods to achieve higher overall functionality. This book also identifies the key self-awareness practices relating to the individual roles and responsibilities while serving on the board which includes the personality traps we encounter in our interpersonal interactions. Moving from “good enough” to exceptional is a process and requires a degree of humility from individual team members understanding their development must be on-going. With several easy-to-follow graphics to articulate Dr. Pritzl’s explanations, readers are able to measure and understand their own level of functionality, the difference between a divided and diverse board, characteristics of self-aware leaders, the school board cycle of success which includes on-boarding and succession- planning in the wake of employee shortages.
