childhood educators, professionals, and families will find the

Early Childhood Leadership: Motivation, Inspiration, Empowerment is
a must-have book for anyone (e.g., administrator, director,
coordinator, team leader, manager, lead teacher) who currently
occupies a leadership position or anticipates doing so in the
future. It addresses one of the most challenging workplace issues
facing employers today - the ability to encourage employees'
creativity, productivity, and long-term commitment to an
organization. Studies consistently show that low employee morale
and high turnover rates are common in early childhood programs and,
in turn, affect the quality of services provided for children and
families. Unfortunately, strategies used by many supervisors to
guide and manage employee behavior often contribute to employee
dissatisfaction and attrition. A sound understanding of
motivational theory and skills (e.g., communication, leadership,
team-building, decision-making) enables effective leaders to create
positive work environments, boost employee morale, and encourage
positive performance. When employees believe their efforts are
being acknowledged and valued, they are less likely to leave their
jobs - an additional and important benefit, especially in the field
of early childhood education.

teens and plastic surgery, overscheduled children, depression and
