This book is dated, but I bought it after attending an admin leadership conference before finding out there's a second edition that was just published a couple of years ago. This one was a quick read, and had some good nuggets of information. I'll likely look into the newer edition to see if there's anything more useful to me as an emerging leader (but not a coach of principals).

Essential if you coach leaders, extremely useful if you coach anyone in schools. This is also a great primer to read on coaching in education--if you're new to the field. A wonderful mix of stories, actionable ideas, and theory.
