Description
Becoming a Transformative Leader from the Inside Out: A Guide for Educators is written for both emerging and veteran school leaders who want to transform our education system to one where everyone thrives. The Inside Out Transformative Leadership Model is a journey of development, starting with self-transformation and expanding outward to transform our schools and positively influence society. Along the way, Dr. Owen and Dr. Mason share authentic and vulnerable stories of leading schools, making the lessons memorable. Written to be used in leadership courses and professional development, Becoming a Transformative Leader from the Inside Out is based on neuroscience, systems thinking, and holistic philosophy. But it is so much more than theory. Filled with activities and directly applicable directions and actionable ideas, it will change your life, improve your relationships, and impact your school and community.
