About This Title
"It is refreshing to see a volume dedicated first and foremost to understanding and building human relationships in schools. By developing strong networks, schools can foster open systems committed to distributive leadership and exemplary academic outcomes."
—Sharon Conley, Professor

Discover how to navigate your school's social networks to maximize communication and collaboration!
Social networks reflect the usually invisible relationships that control the flow of information and power within a school. This compelling guide provides school leaders with an understanding of the real relationships within their schools and how to use their social savvy to promote school goals.
This resource examines the types of social networks typically found in schools and provides samples of social network maps, steps for developing your own maps, and practical advice for managing social networks effectively. Learn how to leverage the power of:
- Task networks determined by work roles and organizational structure
- Friendship networks based on relationships between staff members
- Power networks that can influence opinions and resources
- Culture networks that can help unite staff
By understanding the many relationships that contribute to a school’s culture, leaders can cultivate innovative ideas, enhance teacher capacity, manage conflict, and get things done.
