This book provides a framework for understanding how school cultures operate and how leaders can overcome staff division to improve relationships and transform toxic cultures into healthy ones. Muhammad draws upon his study of schools from across the United States to describe the underlaying tensions that impact culture among four different groups of educators in school: the Believers, the Fundamentalists; the Tweeners; and the Survivors. He provides specific strategies for working with each group of educators to transform school culture and intentionally create positive atmospheres that not only tolerate change, but seek and embrace the changes that maximize organizational effectiveness. -- Back cover.
