The Leadership Maps Book and DVD package provides two effective resources for leaders. Leadership Maps is not another self-assessment that describes an unattainable ideal, but an instrument that assists leaders in examining their own leadership in the context of successful, deep, and sustainable practices. Leadership Maps is based on deep analysis of research and emerging leadership practices in terms of leading change, data analysis, standards at work, content expertise, accountability in action, and planning, implementation and monitoring.

This package helps leaders examine effectiveness from a new paradigm characterized by solid, standards-based dimensions of leadership. Leveraging the Leadership-Learning Matrix developed by Dr. Douglas B. Reeves (The Daily Disciplines of Leadership, 2002), these resources present a second-order level of change, where the focus shifts from a leader working alone to a leader's ability to work with and influence others to build internal capacity and implement effective classroom practices.

The book invites leaders to examine their leadership through the lens of a systematic and extensive series of self-assessments of proven leadership practices. In addition, the DVD shows viewers how to recognize the relationship between extraordinary learning and extraordinary performance. These resources reinforce the importance of deep implementation as an antecedent to sustain excellence, both in achievement and in building internal capacity.
