Human Resources Administration for Educational Leaders Summary

Human Resources Administration for Educational Leaders by M Scott Norton

A comprehensive and research-based text detailing the important relationship between school administration and human resources administration.

The author provides [students] with specific strategies for navigating the treacherous waters of personnel selection, development, retention, and removal. I wish I had the book when I began my work as Director of Personnel.

-Zach Kelehear
