I could have used a roadmap to navigate the ins and outs of being a leader \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e of building an education organization - at the same time. I could have used a book that was clearly written with details and specifics, guidelines and know-how - to help me create a vision for this new program; to build my team; to add the parent component; to set the stage for the children; to design environments and program for them; to create and fit the many parts of the organization together; to make changes when they were needed; to think strategically and execute those plans; to close the center if that decision was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is that book  And, it is \u003cem\u003emy story\u003c\/em\u003e - inspired by the largest child care center that I opened during my career.
