Library

Over the years I have attended many conferences, webinars, in-service training, and various other leadership development courses. All of which push the same principles, that in order to lead one must read to gain insight and knowledge of the various ways of leadership. The information below is a listing of several books that assisted me in scholarly work along with the development of other foundational practices and principles within leadership. If you know of a good book, please feel free to email me the information so it can be added to the library.
