The Clowns Are in Charge of the Circus

This book was written as a guide to help you determine if clowns have taken control of your circus. If those who are making decisions are not accountable for the results of their decisions; if the principles of your organization are routinely susceptible to short term goals or the slightest criticism; if there exists a general lack of regard and appreciation for the thoughts and opinions of those closest to the actual work of the organization; or if your performance is measured by someone that does not have a clue about what you do; then it is a good chance that clowns have taken control of your circus.

The ideas contained within the text emerged from personal experience as a education administrator and human resource professional. Inspiration for many of the quotes were drawn from the book of Proverbs. The book offers an account of how the nature of "clowns" have not changed over the centuries.
