Going Back to the Future

A situational leadership text from a credentialed academic that walks through historical figures — from Jane Addams to Mao Zedong — to illustrate different leadership styles for school administrators. The publisher (Rowman & Littlefield) is reputable and the practitioner angle is useful, but pairing Mao alongside genuinely admirable leaders without deeper moral engagement is an awkward choice, and there's almost no independent critical coverage to verify whether the analysis holds up. Very narrow audience with limited external validation.
