| Summary |
"Quantum Leaps in School Leadership theorizes that models based on the classical sciences have misguided educational leadership. Rettig sees the open dynamics of twentieth-century science - specifically quantum mechanics - as a better and more natural model and describes a method of leadership light-years beyond those of today. He illustrates his critique of the contemporary school administration structure with the story of Leslie O'Connor, a fictional administrator, who makes her way through seemingly familiar training techniques. For anyone interested in the organization and administration of school systems, this book provides an original and compelling perspective."--BOOK JACKET |
