Book Review: Caring Enough to Lead
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very appropriate as a soul-searching vehicle for personal and group reflections on educational leadership issues. The questions which were the chapter titles, were simple, but truly challenging. In selecting any one of the questions to respond to, one would need to dig down deep to answer truthfully. The questions give you a point reference for reflective conversations or thoughts. The flow of the questions, along with its readings, is gentle enough so that the average person would not take offense, yet strong enough to be a catalyst to promote self-evaluation. Almost all of the chapters spoke to me personally in a most powerful way! They caused me to think of the situations I am in or have been in during my career as an educator. With this in mind, I could easily say "Ouch!" or "So that's what I was feeling!" as I read each chapter. At this point in my life, the most meaningful chapters for me were Chapters 16 and 17. I think the bottom line of our schools not being as successful as they could and should be is a matter of us all caring enough to create a shared vision from our hearts for all students to be successful.
Summary of Caring Enough to Lead: Schools and the Sacred Trust
Intended for those with leadership responsibilities, this book is a collection of ideas and understandings rather than a "how-to" book. The author seeks to broaden the discussion of leadership to understand what it really means to be a leader.
