| Abstract | If leadership education programs are improving, then why do some American graduates fail in leading schools and districts even as others succeed? As one way to answer this question, this study explores the preparation, careers, and success or failure of two superintendents prepared in top tier university leadership preparation doctoral programs. Its underlying purpose is to discern whether there is anything else leadership preparation programs can learn and do differently so as to assure the success of all their graduates. In keeping with the naturalistic method, the researcher served as the primary instrument for gathering data about two superintendents, Robert and Sue. This article presents scenarios in narrative form that tell the story of Robert's and Sue's experiences in their doctoral programs and their career paths to and in the superintendent position they each held during the time period of this study. In addition, the scenarios detail their respective districts' demographics, wealth, staff, programs, governance, and issues of accountability. They also include the performance standards used by the respective school boards for annual evaluations of Robert and Sue. The evaluation process is followed, with the discovery of which superintendent's contract was not renewed and who received a three year contract extension. Finally, conclusions are drawn speculating about the success of one superintendent and the job loss of the other. In addition the author identifies some of the gaps in leadership preparation standards and leadership education that affected the success and failure of the school leaders presented in the scenarios.
