SynopsisThe Principal's Office is a practical book. It is simple, easy-to-read, and packed with straightforward, personal advice gleaned from years of real experience. The current or future principal will receive words of wisdom from an author who knows what it is like to serve in the principal's office. This primer addresses the concept of effective leadership in the principal's office with a holistic approach. It is designed to help readers understand the four areas of our being - spiritual, physical, intellectual, and emotional. From personal values and inspiration to clothing choices and exercise, this book touches on all the topics essential to a healthy and successful turn as a principal. When we understand these different areas along with the fundamental need to maintain balance in the four areas, we are better equipped for success in the principal's office., In November 2012, the Young Property Lawyers Forum (YPLF) met in Stellenbosch, South Africa for the Forum's third gathering. It is an informal network that brings together young property law researchers from around the world and enables them to discuss their work with each other and with more experienced researchers. On this occasion, a special Master Class was held after the YPLF in which some of the world's leading property law scholars presented their research. This book contains selected contributions from the third YPLF and the YPLF Masterclass 2012. It offers new perspectives on property theory, constitutional property law, and private law-property law. Under these headings, young and renowned property law scholars present their current research and offer an exciting look into the challenges property law faces in the 21st century.
