Our group had some problems with the leadership perception surveys. We really work well together, and we each have individual strengths and weaknesses that we bring to the group. Many of the questions, however, didn't seem to relate to a group situation. I think these questions would be great to evaluate the leadership of members of a school, but it was awkward trying to answer some of these about our group. We did the best we could with it, and we were very consistent in our feelings on most of the questions.
Our whole book was really, in my opinion, focussed on a high school level. We don't have department chairs, and if any "teacher" in our school tried to do the things suggested in this book, they would be stoned =) There are great ideas for administrators in this book, but I just don't think a lot of it was applicable to us as middle school teachers. I do agree that leadership is vital in a school. I just wish the book had been geared more to the elementary/middle school level in which most of us teach.
