School Board Presidents Tell Why Their Superintendents Fail.

Grady, Marilyn L.; Bryant, Miles T.

Executive Educator, v13 n5 p24-25 May 1991

According to a recent survey of Nebraska school board presidents, superintendencies most often fail because of poor people skills, failure to communicate, questionable ethics, and skirmishes over staffing. Fully 28 out of 75 incidents cited concerned problems with superintendents who were intimidating, reluctant to share information, publicly argumentative, and irascible. (MLH)
