Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Future-Focused Leadership
Gary Manx · 2006
68/100
👎 Skip It
Gary Marx offers school and community leaders a genuinely structured toolkit for scanning trends and planning ahead, published by the respected ASCD. It's solid professional-development material, but two decades on, some of its 2006 trend forecasting reads dated and its appeal stays narrow to administrators.
