The authors argue that many counselors who assume managerial leadership positions within agencies or schools (e.g., head school counselor, director of outpatient services) tread into unknown territory, a phenomenon reflecting the dearth of literature within the counseling field related to effective management. This article attempts to introduce effective managerial leadership practices, drawn largely from management literature, to help guide counselors serving in managerial leadership positions in creating and maintaining vital and productive counseling programs.
