“Rod recently presented a “Normative Leadership Training Program” for the sixty-five members of the faculty of Central Catholic High School. He has the knack of being able to present concepts and issues in a non-threatening manner designed to empower the faculty to develop ownership in devising problem-solving strategies to create a better school environment. Whenever a presenter can hold the attention of a group of faculty for four hours of in-service, you realize that he was effective.

“My experience as a school administrator has provided an understanding that people embrace progress but are very resistant and even loathe change. The Normative Leadership Training experience, presented by Mr. Hess, provided outstanding motivation for our faculty and administration, and it was extremely exciting to observe twenty and thirty year teachers actively involved in the various activities that were part of this training. This program seems to have given us the “missing link” that enabled us to become more aware of key strategies paramount to the successful development of a strong, positive normative culture on our campus.
