LEVERAGE YOUR LEADERSHIP

Exceptional school leaders across the globe are changing the narrative of what is possible in school leadership simply by focusing on how they use their time: what they do and how and when they do it. Fully revised and updated from the first edition, Leverage Leadership 2.0 is grounded in the experience of more than 20,000 school leaders worldwide and offers the most current on-the-ground techniques to transform your leadership. By consistently using seven principles or "levers," each minute of each day is leveraged to maximal results:

• Drive as much teacher development in a year as most schools do in twenty (instructional levers--Chapters 1-4)
• Build the habits of mind and heart that can shape a strong school culture (cultural levers--Chapters 5-7)

With over 30 updated videos of top-tier leaders in action along with fully updated professional development materials, ready-to-use rubrics, and calendars, Leverage Leadership 2.0 brings great schools to you--and allows you to create one yourself.
