To Skip a Stone--Or, Learning About Leadership on a Beach at Cape Cod.
Blumberg, Arthur
NASSP Bulletin, v71 n495 p54-58 Jan 1987
An education professor draws an analogy between skipping stones on water and a principal's development of school leadership. As stone skippers think about the stone, the environment, and the act of throwing, so should school leaders consider their problem ("stone"), their school and community environment, and the way they introduce the "stone" into the environment.
