Management is like a game of chess, there is a board; there are also hierarchies and there are rules, and it requires tactics. Wrong moves, and there are repercussions. On the chessboard, there is the king, the queen, the bishop, and the knights; each of them with influence, power, and authority that determine what happen to others on the board. Similarly, there are people in the upper echelon of school management who play challenging but rewarding roles to shape the landscape of the school for other staff and the learners in their care. They take on several roles in leadership and policymaking to ensure a high-performance workplace. Management should be intentional and not through trial-by-error or instincts. This is simply because every leader has to relate with 5Ms, namely; man, money, methods, materials, and machinery, to be able to function effectively. Essential Management Skills for School Executives is a book carefully tailored for all serving school executives, irrespective of their hierarchical levels, as well as for teachers aspiring to become school executives. This book aims to help school leaders in meeting set targets, fulfilling vision and mission, ease work tension as well as improve productivity across board.
