- The Art of Taming Monkey Business Goldman, Jay P. Superintendents Administration Leadership School Community Relationship College School Cooperation John Pedicone figured early on in his superintendency that leadership cannot breathe in a vacuum. So he has taken plenty of steps, both symbolic and pragmatic, to ensure there are no empty spaces in his world. The symbolism is readily apparent from Pedicone's decor in the central-office headquarters of the Flowing Wells School District in Tucson, Arizona. His office is plastered with nearly 300 representations of monkeys made of silver, crystal, granite and cloth. Once there was even an artistic 5 1/2-foot paper mache creation that Pedicone transplanted to the corner of his home library for fear he would have to compete for the attention of visitors. The point of monkey mania is to stress the occupant's deep personal belief in Monkey Management, an approach Pedicone says he borrowed from Kenneth Blanchard's book The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey. In Pedicone's interpretation, the theory states "people will try to put the monkey on your back and your job should be to place it gently and yet firmly in the laps of the people who can do the job well. This article contains a brief profile John Pedicone and the work he has done in his school district.
