Thomas J. Sergiovanni, Lillian Radford Professor of Education

Trinity University, San Antonio, TX

Building upon his successful first edition, noted author and speaker, Leonard O. Pellicer, takes the reader on a deeply emotional and touching journey to the human side of leadership. While discussing the importance of "serving" others, Caring Enough to Lead, Second Edition is more than a "how to" manual. It is a collection of ideas and understandings illustrating vital concepts of leadership through a series of questions, short vignettes, selected quotations, and personal stories. Reflective pieces at the end of each chapter provide powerful opportunities to assess what it truly means to be a leader.

Several critical questions will help you determine for yourself:

• Why it?s better to know some of the questions rather than all the answers
• What it means to be a leader
• What you really care about
• What it means to be responsible
• Why you are a professional educator
• If you care enough to do the "little things"
• How a school can be transformed by your leadership

Whether you are an administrator, principal, teacher, counselor, or board member, this second edition is for those of you who feel a deep responsibility to provide caring and effective leadership in whatever role you may find yourself serving.
