That's not enough, says DuFour, co-author of the influential book "Professional Learning Communities at Work." Leaders who are most effective in generating results know how to "appeal not only to the bottom line, but also to the heart. In fact, one of the best strategies for improving results is connecting with people's deepest, heartfelt hopes." http://www.nsdc.org/library/publications/jsd/dufour251.cfm
