Doug Eadie's Governing at the Top: Building a Board-Superintendent Strategic Governing Team is both a powerful addition to the K-12 governance literature and a practical guidebook for school board members, superintendents, and senior administrators. Opening with a crystal-clear, eminently practical definition of the work of governing that goes well-beyond the outdated notion of "policy making," this exciting new book proceeds to take a close look at the key elements involved in building the kind of rock-solid board-superintendent governing partnership that today's challenging times demand. After describing the critical role of a "board-savvy" superintendent in the governing partnership, Doug examines in detail: ?how board-superintendent teams can go about developing the board's governing "architecture" (the board's governing role, its members, and its committee structure). ?how to map out processes for active board member engagement in governing work. ?and how to keep the board-superintendent working relationship healthy. This book gives you the hands-on, practical advice on how to get the top job and how to "thrive and survive" when you're there, by the country's top specialist in the field of high-impact governing for superintendents and school boards.
