{"product_id":"9781450031035","title":"SEEKING NEW POSSIBILITIES? BE A SEARCH CONSULTANT!","description":"Experiencing the process of interviewing for a school superintendent position was challenging, to say the least. In my experience, I was appalled by the lack of professionalism and organization shown on the part of the school districts. I made notes of how I thought the interview process should be conducted and put my notes away, thinking that someday I might want to do something regarding the professional interview process.  \u003cbr\u003e  Upon retirement from serving as a public school superintendent for nearly twelve years, I referred to the notes I had made during the interview process and determined that there was a need in this professional arena. I did research and then started my own company for the purpose of doing superintendent searches with boards of education. I have completed over one hundred individual searches and feel that I have developed and perfected a process that is second to none. I have decided that I need to share the information and experiences I have gained so that others may benefi t through my process.  \u003cbr\u003e I feel that in the very near future, many boards of education are not going to have the funds to hire a consultant to assist them in a superintendent search; therefore, I would like to make available a search process which has been very successful for the past twenty-plus years.  \u003cbr\u003e  The decision in hiring a new superintendent is the most important decision a board will ever make; therefore, the process to get to the right decision is extremely important. Many boards think it is just a simple matter and try to do it on their own without specifi c guidelines. What a mistake!  \u003cbr\u003e   This book is a step-by-step method with all materials suited to the specifi c needs of the district, whether a small, rural, large, urban, charter, or private school. Here, the author also discusses the materials as valuable and appropriate in searching for a college dean or working with a private company.  \u003cbr\u003e   This book would be extremely valuable to, and is intended for, boards of education, any corporation, or any other organization in the public or private sector seeking a process for hiring the next superintendent, university dean, or corporate CEO, and as a textbook or reference material for university graduate studies.  \u003cbr\u003e   While searching for publications of a similar nature, I have found this book to be unique and have no rival.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  - Xlibris Podcast Part 1: http:\/\/www.xlibrispodcasts.com\/seeking-new-possibilities-1\/ \u003cbr\u003e - Xlibris Podcast Part 2: http:\/\/www.xlibrispodcasts.com\/seeking-new-possibilities-2\/ \u003cbr\u003e - Xlibris Podcast Part 3: http:\/\/www.xlibrispodcasts.com\/seeking-new-possibilities-3\/ \u003cbr\u003e - Xlibris Podcast Part 4: http:\/\/www.xlibrispodcasts.com\/seeking-new-possibilities-4\/ \u003cbr\u003e - Xlibris Podcast Part 5: http:\/\/www.xlibrispodcasts.com\/seeking-new-possibilities-5\/","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134733402352,"sku":"9781450031035","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450031035_p0.jpg?v=1763836828","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450031035","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
