This book exceeded my expectations. I've known Brett Novick to be a passionate and compassionate educator, who understands that it is about inter-personal relationships in the education setting that really makes or breaks an organization's success. But with this book, he's proved to touch on the 'affective' domain of an educational environment. I can tell you that not a day goes by, in my role as Superintendent of Schools, where I don't try to communicate that it's relationships not programs that change students - Brett provides the supporting data and an instruction method to do this in practice. I learned more from this book than any other I've read in years.
