We All Need The Same Training
The internal teaching of leadership and management on all levels in a school can occur 
only if we all receive the same executive training relative to leading people. That means we all need exposure to the same foundations. It means we need to operate with the same core values that are in agreement with the work and mission of the school and hold student learning and success supreme. It means we must acquire more "people skills," know the laws and principles of leadership and management, and practice the methods, techniques, and skills that enhance success. And, at this time in history, when we are moving toward higher standards, greater requirements, empowerment, reorganization, restructuring, and national goals, the joint and comprehensive training of teachers and administrators appears to be a necessity.
The Proactive Leadership In The 21st Century Website provides access to over 50 useful management and leadership laws that relate to leading people. These laws provide leadership foundations that include the attitudes, beliefs, philosophies, and theories upon which successful leaders' belief systems can be formed and actualized. School leaders, mentors, and aspiring leaders will find this information helpful in many areas.
When you use Proactive Leadership In The 21st Century as a source of leadership training, you'll acquire the repertoire of skills you need to become as proficient on the "people" side of leadership and management as you are on the 
technical or academic side. You'll explore leadership techniques that go beyond "defining the problem" and find answers that you can apply immediately in a multitude of professional situations.
In a concise, succinct way, this Website parallels the fivefold purpose of the best-selling book, Proactive Leadership In The 21st Century Classroom, School, and District written by Robert L. DeBruyn. This book contains over 65 useful management and leadership laws and provides comprehensive and insightful lessons that all school leaders should study. Like the book, the Website can be used for individual or group study. And both the Website and the book are meant to give leaders the information they need to experience more security and satisfaction in their leadership roles.
Before you launch into your study of the Website, take a few minutes to explore the foundation purposes of the original work Proactive Leadership In The 21st Century Classroom, School, and District. As stated earlier, the purpose of this book is fivefold:
First, it will familiarize teachers and administrators with the specific and predictable wants, needs, and motivations of human beings. Acquiring this foundation is an absolute necessity for all in appointed leadership positions.
Second, it will introduce teachers and administrators to the laws, principles, and theories of human management as they relate to leading people and being either classroom teachers or school administrators.
Third, it will give both teachers and administrators leadership foundations that include the attitudes, beliefs, philosophies, and theories upon which their belief systems can be formed and actualized.
Fourth, it will provide teachers and administrators with the practical and workable methods, techniques, and skills needed to lead people in agreement with good management and educational practices.
Fifth, it will help teachers see themselves as the chief executive officers in the classroom, principals see themselves as the chief executive officers in the school, and superintendents see themselves as the chief executive officers in the district-and it will help all to think and act accordingly.
Whether you are a teacher or an administrator, the leadership principles found in this Website and book can help you move to a higher level of excellence and fulfillment in your leadership position.
