The Brain and Strengths Based School Leadership

This is a resource for school leaders looking to fine-tune their leadership style. Feinstein and Kiner combine cognitive knowledge of brain function and new insights on strength based leadership, to help school leaders develop strategies that will enhance student learning in an environment that maximizes student and faculty potential.

Build on individual strengths for optimized leadership

Best-selling author Sheryl G. Feinstein demonstrates how educational leaders can apply a popular business prototype of leadership strengths and the latest brain research to lead effectively. Her new book, co-authored by veteran administrator and instructional leader Robert W. Kiner, outlines four leadership styles—executer, relationship builder, influencer, and strategic thinker—and shows how to recognize and capitalize on these styles in order to:

Create a positive school culture
Mentor and supervise teachers
Keep track of standardized testing
Foster community partnerships
Use data to inform curriculum and instruction

The authors connect current cognitive research with the challenges of educational leadership, using vignettes and discussion questions to make clear the links between neural wiring, learning, and leading. Learn how to make the most of your own talents and also play to the strengths of everyone on your team.
