The cornerstone to quality education is effective Board-Superintendent Teamwork where roles are defined and direction is clear. Unfortunately, superintendent employment contracts tend to impede effective leadership as roles are not clear promoting team dysfunction resulting in superintendent turnover. Dancing with the Bear: Negotiating the Superintendent Employment Contract is an in-depth analysis of what should be included in the employment contract as well as strategies and techniques on how to negotiate. "More than negotiating a contract this is a book on effective leadership." (Lloyd Wamhoff, Association of California School Administrators) Sample topics include: -The fatal negotiating mistake -How to negotiate a successful contract- The must haves and when to walk away "I wish I had read this before my first contract! It is clear and gives a logical approach to contract negotiations along with great examples of what happens when ignored." (Sherry Kendrick, Ed. D. retired superintendent)
