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.
