Additional Information
“For any leader who believes in collaborative leadership, Stronger Together is a must for your team’s development. I suggest this be done in the form of a book study with your team. The book is easy to read and follow. It provides step-by-step instructions on developing a culture of collaboration, with many reflective exercises. Moreover, the action steps will stimulate thought and professional growth that will lead to stronger and more effective teams. I will guarantee that students will ultimately benefit from the leadership teams’ enculturation of the collaboration tenets clearly articulated in this book.”
“Collaborative leadership is all about people. It only makes sense that people need to see others in action to make this work. I have seen Terri L. Martin and Cameron L. Rains in action. They walk the walk and talk the talk. I consider both highly effective collaborative leaders. In this book, they present valid research, shared experiences, and practical strategies from many years working in the field of education. This book should be a must-read for all administrators.”
“Stronger Together is one of the most practical leadership books I have read in my thirty-seven-year career in education. You will find this book on my desk, marked with flags, as it is referenced each week throughout the school year. It has a get-the-work-done-right approach based in sound research. School leaders who use the plan in this book will find they are part of a positive, collaborative environment focused on what’s best for students. This is a must-read!”
