[Toby Decker · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book does have kernels of truth, but it is insufferably written for a non-academic audience (despite being for education administrators). Chicken Soup for the Principal’s Soul might have been a more apt title.

[Brian McCann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great accessible reminders of administrators’ power to inspire those around us.

[Heather Hooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nothing too ground breaking here. Short and to the point.
