Book excerpt: Staying A Head is a book about overcoming the stresses of school leadership. The book identifies key strategies that school leaders must adopt if they are to rise successfully above the challenges of their roles and maintain their ability to lead and inspire others. "This book is wise, timely and very well needed by the profession; it is reassuring, re-affirming and motivating. It's so rare to have the human experience of being a school leader really explored in a perceptive and emotionally intelligent, but equally incisive and challenging way." Kathryn Pugh, Head teacher, The St Marylebone CE School, London "Viv Grant has written a book of deep honesty and authenticity. She has opened the closed world that many school leaders inhabit. But rather than leave the world 'exposed she offers new and experienced school leaders practical and effective methods that nurture inner understanding to bring out the best in others and foster organisational transformation. I highly recommend this book to anyone in, or aspiring to senior leadership." Mike Jones, Head teacher, South Failsworth Primary School, Oldham Staying A Head is a must read book for those school leaders who are brave enough to admit that they are not super human and that in their endeavours to shape better futures for our children, it is OK to admit to self doubt, worry and anxiety and to ask for help. It is for school leaders who want to know how to: Let go of the stresses of their roles Develop greater emotional resilience Uncover solutions for helping them to achieve greater personal and professional fulfilment Maintain their moral compass and stay connected to their purpose Achieve their vision without sacrificing their own health and personal well being Six Reasons to Read Staying A Head Because our children need you Because you have a vision Because you need to know how to deliver your vision without sacrificing your own well being Because you need to be the leader you want to be Because you have your own unique story.

Download or read book Leadership on the Line With a New Preface written by Ronald Heifetz and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dangerous work of leading change--somebody has to do it. Will you put yourself on the line? To lead is to live dangerously. It's romantic and exciting to think of leadership as all inspiration, decisive action, and rich rewards, but leading requires taking risks that can jeopardize your career and your personal life. It requires putting yourself on the line, disrupting the status quo, and surfacing hidden conflict. And when people resist and push back, there's a strong temptation to play it safe. Those who choose to lead plunge in, take the risks, and sometimes get burned. But it doesn't have to be that way say renowned leadership experts Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky. In Leadership on the Line, they show how it's possible to make a difference without getting "taken out" or pushed aside. They present everyday tools that give equal weight to the dangerous work of leading change and the critical importance of personal survival. Through vivid stories from all walks of life, the authors present straightforward strategies for navigating the perilous straits of leadership. Whether you're a parent or a politician, a CEO or a community activist, this practical book shows how you can exercise leadership and survive and thrive to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Download or read book Staying in the Boat written by C. H. Harvey and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much speculation about the usefulness of dreams and visions, but in the final analysis, they are controlled by the divine nature in each of us. When the journal entries contain wording that include God, Yahweh, Yeshua Ha Machiah, Yahusha, Jesus or any other name referring to a divine presence, it is only to help the reader know that the Creator is who He is, the Great I Am, who is. This book is written as the co-author experienced the dreams and visions first hand with the knowledge that the creator, the Great I Am, Yuhuah, had everything to do with them; with the desire on the part of the co-author to find the ultimate teaching from the one who gave it in the first place; listening to the Holy Spirit, obediently for the precious nuggets of wisdom from the Great I Am, Himself. With all that said, we leave this blessing to the reader: 'May Yahuah bless you and keep you; may Yahuah make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahuah lift up His countenance on you and give you peace.'
