A small book packed with big ideas, Poynter Leadership: Essential Skills & Values provides practical advice for newsroom leaders, from neophyte to veteran. For new leaders, it is your road map; for the experienced, it helps fine-tune your performance.

Essential Skills & Values is a project of Poynter’s Leadership Team, faculty members whose real-world experiences as news executives and teachers enrich their writing. The booklet offers powerful, practical advice on managerial roles and responsibilities, leadership styles, finding time to coach, building trust, sharing the process of ethical decision-making, respecting diversity and differences, and leading through challenge and change.

The booklet features specific tips and checklists, and a healthy dash of inspiration. It helps newsroom leaders turn leadership theory into practice and practice into success. Reading it is like having four respected newsroom mentors at your shoulder, offering encouragement and support while challenging you to grow.

Essential Skills & Values is a valuable resource for journalists in print, broadcast, or online newsrooms who want to build their management competence and leadership credibility.
