Principals and managers who actively show how much they value their employees build a positive climate that filters down to students. The ideas contained in this book are sure to tickle your staff and build morale." -Principal Magazine, NAESP, Nov/Dec 2005 Praise for Looking Forward to MORE Monday Mornings: "My entire philosophy on staff development and motivation has changed since I read this book, which breathed life into my new-found style." -Dave Woods, Principal, Delhi Middle School, CA Bring fun and appreciation to every Monday morning and all days of the week!
