Building on Whole Leadership: Energizing and Strengthening Your Early Childhood Program

In a complex and changing landscape of scarce funding, high turnover rates, and differing views about priorities, the early childhood profession needs an anchor. The Whole Leadership Framework, developed by the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership, helps early childhood professionals inspire their staffs' collaboration, creativity, and ethical commitment.

Using the Whole Leadership Framework's three domains-leadership essentials, pedagogical leadership, and administrative leadership-learn how to:

• Develop foundational leadership attributes and competencies
• Use both day-to-day management and long-range leadership skills
• Encourage family engagement
• Advocate for children and families in your community

Building on Whole Leadership will help you inspire your staff to see the value of their work and invest their best efforts-all while maintaining your own energy and motivation. This book will guide you as you become an influential change agent in the lives of children, families, organizations, and communities.
