What is leadership. . .and who is a leader? Leadership is practiced every day in big and small ways?it's a matter of personal insights and inspiration as much as practical day-to-day accomplishment?and this is the book that can initiate and nurture leadership in educators at all levels.
A one-of-a-kind guidebook for administrators and teachers, Leading Every Day offers inspiration and opportunities for reflection in a unique and accessible new way. Four separate chapters cover four major aspects of leadership:
- Everyday Leadership
- Everyday Change
- Leading Learning
- Leading Effective Groups
Each chapter is divided into thirty-one days (one for each day of the month) in a powerful fourfold daybook format. On each page, educators will find cogent quotations, inspiring stories, and invitations for larger discourse that can literally changelives.
This inspiring book was written especially for people leading educational reform initiatives, but the content applies to all leaders. The stories, ideas, and examples will help veteran and aspiring leaders alike enhance their leadership practices . . . every day.
