Abstract	This is a highly practical book for the first-year principal or for the assistant principal looking ahead to promotion. In place of abstract generalities, it offers real-life vignettes and scenarios that may be faced by typical first-year principals. The skill checklists are intended to be realistic and unintimidating. Step-by-step explanations are provided for such skills as developing a network or finding mentors. Section 1 reviews technical managerial skills, such as using a personal leadership checklist, meeting skill expectations, and learning to lead by assisting. Section 2 covers socialization, including others' unspoken expectations and the need to learn the school's culture. Self-awareness is the theme of section 3. It points out the benefits of reviewing personal values, of avoiding some of the potential traps of being perceived as a typical boss, and helps the reader to organize a time line for his or her own learning and development. How to develop a support group may be the most important part of this section. The titles of suggested reading at the end of each chapter appear to offer a similar emphasis on practicality and specific skill building. (Contains 30 references.) (RKJ)
