Emotional Intelligence for School Leaders
Description
In this profoundly useful work, Janet Patti and Robin Stern make the case for social-emotional learning (SEL) as part of a critical skill set for K-12 school leaders, and they offer coaching on how to integrate emotional intelligence into leadership practices. Patti and Stern draw on recent research from psychology and education, as well as their combined 40 years of experience in the fields of SEL and leadership training, to highlight the many benefits of SEL-focused professional development for superintendents, principals, and aspiring school leaders. They also give readers the tools to develop their own SEL skills.
Emotional Intelligence for School Leaders outlines key SEL skills, from mindfulness and self-management to relationship building and conflict resolution, and details how each can be applied in a leadership context. Case studies of a variety of successful educational leaders who employ positive psychology in their work illustrate the strategies they used to cultivate and apply their own SEL skills.
This encouraging book underscores how teams that lead with self-awareness and empathy can promote well-being, foster resilience, and prevent burnout among educators and ultimately increase equity in the education system.

Reviews
--Dawn Brooks DeCosta, deputy superintendent, Harlem Community School District 5
"For over twenty years, Janet Patti and Robin Stern have studied the emotional intelligence of school leaders. They have also developed state-of-the-art programs for helping leaders increase their EI, and they have mounted rigorous evaluation studies to determine those programs' effectiveness. I'm delighted that they have now compiled all of this valuable information into this book. It is truly a gift to all of us."
--Cary Cherniss, emeritus professor of applied psychology, Rutgers University and cofounder of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence
"Having been in the leadership research and development field for over fifty years, I am seldom awed. This book is a 'wow' experience. I felt like Charlie finding the Golden Ticket to enter Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory! I wish the faculty and administration at my university would read this book!"
--Richard Boyatzis, Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University and coauthor of the international bestseller Primal Leadership and Helping People Change
