In my twenty-one years as a superintendent of schools I observed the most successful principals seemed to have a 'gift' to get everything done. In his book, Finding the Time for Instructional Leadership: Management Strategies for Strengthening the Academic Program, Dr. Leonard has unlocked the keys to how these successful principals could accomplish so much. From a true scholar/practitioner point of view, Dr. Leonard shares a message of hope for both new and experienced principals as they face the day-to-day challenges of campus level leadership. This book should be required reading for both sitting principals and those who aspire to the position. (Ralph Marshall )

Connecting the tenets of shared leadership with the importance of instructional goals, this book brings to the foreground a clear and well articulated approach to instructional leadership for today's school, focusing the reader on practical examples of challenges and problems faced as a principal, and then applying a key strategy in a process that demonstrates the power of Value Added Unified Leadership Team (VAULT). This is a must read for the student in principal preparation and for the principal who is serious about being a student of instructional leadership. (Jenlink, Patrick M. )

John Leonard has captured the most elusive element necessary for the successful school principal—time management for effective team-building and organizational efficiency. This is a must read for every principal, staff development administrator, and professor who prepares future school leaders. John clearly takes the reader step-by-step to advise principals' toward better use of time through differentiated leadership for building higher teacher morale and student performance. (Hoyle, John R. )
