You Can't Learn To Read When You've Got Stickers In Your Pants: Management Lessons A School Principal learned From Kids
Often, the best lessons managers learn come through on the job training. This book recounts the many lessons I learned from children and others during my years as an elementary school principal. Let's start with a basic premise. Kids are pretty smart people. They begin learning how to manipulate their parents as infants. As they grow older, they become increasingly adept at reading others and using what they learn about them to get desired results. By observing children and others, and really listening to the story they were telling, or often implying, I learned more about management than I ever picked up in professional classes. This book is a compilation of actual events, that taught me as a manager, how to improve my practice.
