This handbook for school and district leaders applies the principles of the best-selling book Quality Questioning to four critical leadership functions:

• Maximizing individual and organizational capacity
• Mobilizing individuals and groups to build ownership and commitment across a community
• Mediating conflict by helping individuals find common ground and focus on shared purpose
• Monitoring progress toward identified goals
