In addition to theories and research, the book also prepares relevant cases for readers, introducing how to apply research and theory to daily work. It holds certain reference significance for China's educational reform and school development. This book is specifically designed for school leaders, aiming to help them develop the potential of their staff and improve their leadership qualities. In addition to theories and research, the book also prepares relevant cases for readers, introducing how to apply research and theory to daily work. Without practical application cases, theories and research may be doubted by practitioners. Only when practitioners experience the benefits brought by theories and research will they internalize them and recognize their value to their careers. The book is divided into three parts:
Part One discusses how leaders can transform school culture, including two chapters: fostering a culture to maximize human potential and the leadership skills required to maximize employee potential.
Part Two discusses methods for transforming school culture and fully developing human resources, including four chapters: communication and interpersonal relationships, team building and teamwork, employee development, and motivation and recognition.
Part Three discusses the knowledge and skills needed to cultivate and develop human potential, including five chapters: conflict management, recruitment and selection, hiring, firing, and layoffs, performance evaluation, and the onboarding of new teachers, and developing teachers into leaders.
The three parts of the book's content primarily discuss two themes: one is establishing a school culture centered on the principal's leadership to fully develop human potential, and the other is transforming school culture, where leadership knowledge and skills are essential for developing human potential.
