Principal to Principal: Conversation in Servant Leadership [Hardcover]

Principal to Principal: Conversations in Servant Leadership, is an expanded edition of the original, published by Rowman and Littlefield in 2008. The book tells the story of a recently retired principal (John), who walks a first year principal (Linda) through her first year in serving a school. Chapter by chapter, John wisely mentors, as Linda vents, cries, listens, and learns--experiencing what its really like down in the trenches as an authentic servant leader.Rocky Wallace came to Campbellsville University in the fall of 2018 to help develop the schools graduate education leadership program. He has previously been involved in similar work for Asbury University and Morehead State University, developing and teaching courses for aspiring school administrators. Wallace is a former school principal of a Kentucky And U.S. Blue Ribbon School (Catlettsburg Elementary), served in the Highly Skilled Educator leadership program at the Kentucky Department of Education, and as Director of Instructional Support and Adult Education at the Kentucky Educational Development Corporation.

Principal to Principal is a must read for all current school administrators and for all educators who aspire to be educational leaders. Dr. Rocky Wallace offers a common sense approach to school leadership with a focus on the value of servant leadership. The emphasis on core values and the authentic dialogue that occurs between a new administrator and a mentoring veteran administrator outline the importance of adhering to a strong set of principles in leading school improvement. I found this easy to read book to be uplifting, encouraging, worthwhile, and practical. 10 out of 10! Carrie Ballinger, Ed. D, Superintendent, Rockcastle Co. (Kentucky) Schools
