The chapters in this text are designed to provide administrators and leaders with background and strategy to help assist them in designing their own “play” calls when dealing with employees, unions, and labor leadership. Each chapter herein contains “Coaches Corner” and “You Make the Call” case study sections to help review the educational leadership message that was set forth in the pages of the chapter and provide a real-life inbox scenario for leaders and aspiring school executives who can discuss different play calls to utilize in specific circumstances. Sharing these discussions among students and leadership teams allows for growth and a sharing of ideas among individuals in the field.

Navigating the gauntlet of leader responsibilities can be a daunting task for new and experienced leaders alike. Dr. Tomko provides a detailed map for navigating labor issues while also employing strong relationship-building and communication skills. This is difficult work and is often compartmentalized, narrowing the vision for robust decision making. Dr. Tomko's publication creates a clearly articulated path for how to blend the leadership spaces of the manager and the team builder to assist in building a healthy organization.
