DOWNLOAD EBOOKInvitational Leadership is a fresh and innovative model based on a single theoretical framework. The model shifts from emphasizing control and dominance to one that focuses on connectedness, cooperation, and communication. Based on sound philosophical and psychological assumptions, Invitational Leadership has been tested and successfully applied by leaders in numerous fields, including administration, business, nursing, dentistry, counseling, and other professions. Invitational Leadership is the basis for the International Alliance for Invitational Education, a network of over a thousand professionals from all 50 states as well as Great Britain, Canada, China, South Africa, and countries throughout Central and South America. William Purkey and Betty Siegel have written much more than a guidebook to becoming a healthier and more effective leader; they proffer a radically profound, compelling argument that it is time for people in positions of authority to forge a new kind of relationship with others based on dialogue, respect and collaboration. This insightful work is long overdue in an age of “might makes right,” and contains great wisdom in promoting solid values found in various democratic and spiritual organizations. Supervisors and coaches, CEO’s and shop stewards, managers and parents—anyone and everyone who deals with others, take notice. This is a truly inspirational book in its invitation for all people to join together in a shared vision of promise and greatness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Invitational Education" is a metaphor for an emerging model of the educative process consisting of four value-based assumptions about the nature of people and their potential: (1) people are able, valuable, and responsible and should be treated accordingly; (2) education should be a collaborative, cooperative activity; (3) people possess untapped potential in all areas of human endeavor; and (4) human potential can best be realized by places, policies, and processes that are specifically designed to invite development, and by people who are intentionally inviting with themselves and others, personally and professionally. This "fastback" presents a conceptual model for invitational education and suggests some practical strategies for making schools the most inviting place in town--intellectually, psychologically, and physically. Part 1 describes the assumptions, elements, and theoretical foundations of invitational education. Part 2 provides tips on translating theory into practice through transformation of the places, people, policies, and programs of a school to ensure that each school day is an invitation to learning. Part 3 provides tips for "Increasing Your Invitational Quotient," both personally and professionally. (TE)
