At a time when traditional forms of print media are surrendering to electronic transmission, the full-length hardcover/softcover book still finds its way onto the reading lists of the nation's top-level education administrators. This article presents nine reflections by education leaders on a book whose message continues to resonate: John L. Barry on "Future Shock;" Jean-Claude Brizard on "Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done;" Thomas Fowler-Finn on "Don't Think of an Elephant!;" Michael A. Haynes on "Tongue Fu!;" Emilie M. Lonardi on "A Whole New Mind;" Nancy J. McGinley on "The Leadership Moment;" Thomas L. Rogers on "Leadership Without Easy Answers;" Joshua P. Starr on "The Fire Next Time;" and Tim Waters on "Learned Optimism."
