The Central Administratiion for the Owen J. Roberts School District requested that I provide a training exercise for district faculty members covering classroom management and classroom leadership skills and techniques. Mr. Hess's NORMATIVE LEADERSHIP book proved to be an extremely valuable tool in the preperation and presentation of this training design.

Having gone through many developmental and training manuals, Mr. Hess' "NORMATIVE LEADERSHIP" was indeed a pleasure to read and study. Its easy explanation of new and complex ideas in the evaluation and training in management, organization and leadership makes this book a valuable addition. It is a must read for all present day managers.

Rod Hess’ Normative Leadership stands out as the most useful of any of the management, organizational evaluation, staff development, or leadership training manuals I’ve ever encountered. It is clearly written and covers the most critical information and skills one needs to become effective in dealing with individuals and groups in the workplace and in every aspect of life. It enables the reader to understand normative culture, evaluate him/herself and others, identify and develop leaders, assess performance and make wise, effective decisions. Its lessons are invaluable! This is one book to which the reader will refer over and over again.

This book provided a constant reminder that a leader's primary responsibility is getting the right things done. in otherwords getting the right results.

This book is a relatively easy read, with numerous tools and advice. It helps you understand how to model the appropriate behavior, ask the right questions, make the right observations and develop high performing teams regardless of your organization or industry.
