The book is full of powerful reflections that can make lasting impressions for anyone hoping to climb career ladders."
--Dan Domenech, Executive Director of The School Superintendents Association (AASA)

These practitioners’ "pearls of wisdom" offer a detailed explanation of the skills needed to be a well-rounded leader."
--G.A. Buie, President of the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP)
