Abstract	Steeped in a distinctive view of leadership, graduates of the Broad Superintendents Academy have landed some of public education's top jobs. In this article, the author features the Broad Superintendents Academy, a program established by Eli Broad's Foundation which spends roughly $45,000 to train each of the business executives, military officers, nonprofit-sector leaders, government officials, and sitting superintendents who have gone through the academy. Mr. Broad, the billionaire businessman and philanthropist who set up the Broad Foundation in Los Angeles, believes that great managers can run anything. The glut of talent in government, the military, and the private sector ought to be tapped, he believes, to help fix what he views as the nation's most urgent problem--failing urban schools. (ERIC).
