Unleash Your Potential: Put Any Foot Forward presents a clarion call for us to awaken the gifts within us. Everyone has a gift, and the truth is that if we dont use them, they will be taken away, and we lose the joy of fulfilling Gods purpose in our lives. We must learn how to unleash our potential, to put any foot forward through motivation and encouragement. We have been crippled for so long by our circumstances, our fears, our past failures, and mistakes, but now, author Dr. Darlington I. I. Ndubuike encourages us to heed the command of the Lord to move ahead! When God provides us with opportunities, we have to take that first STEP: Seize the opportunity. Take action by faith. Encourage ourselves in the Lord. Prayerfully follow Gods lead. We cannot be intimidated by our circumstances. We must hold our heads up and keep our shoulders high. We must position ourselves to unleash our potential without losing focus, with the understanding that nothing good comes easy. It takes time and effort, but your dream is attainable.
Annotation This book makes a major contribution to the scholarship of organizational analysis and leadership. It describes the imperfect world of school organizations as navigated by flesh-and-blood human beings - the leaders in this study are real people in real situations. It illuminates the ethical reasoning articulated by school principals in response to candid questions: why they chose to ignore, bend, or break rules; why they chose not to disclose factual information; or why they lied. Current administrators will find affirmation and validation in its theoretical grounding. Professors in graduate educational leadership programs will find integrity of scholarship, authentic descriptions of the realities of professional practice, and a means for promoting lively discussions. Scholars of organizational analysis and leadership studies will find a gold mine of data and future research suggestions.

It also devotes a chapter-length discussion to several curricular topics likely to be facing educators in the future: higher-order-thinking skills, multicultural education, and higher technology.
