"Fullan has an uncanny ability to produce what is needed at the
time it is needed. The six secrets are based in theory, grounded in
practice, powerful in their relationship to each other, and
described in ways that enable deep understanding. It is a
refreshing change from the surface lists of leadership and change
ideas that all too often permeate education and business
literature." --Vicki Phillips, director of education, Bill
