Description

"As a former practitioner, I value practical ideas that work. This book captures the essence of how leaders must look inside themselves and then act on the courage of their convictions to stay the course."
Jerry Patterson, Professor of Leadership Studies
University of Alabama at Birmingham

"The personal anecdotes and self assessments will prepare you for future challenges in a leadership role. If leadership is a journey, this book will assist your first steps."
David Mosrie, Chief Executive Officer
Florida Association of District School Superintendents

"Today's schools certainly require competent leaders, and Brubaker and Coble's ideas about competence are evocative of leadership abilities and skills necessary to lead organizations in ways that contribute to their viability and growth."
Linton Deck, Chair, Department of Educational Leadership
State University of West Georgia

"This work is another example of Brubaker and Coble's insight. It will be of tremendous benefit to all who want to expand their understanding of their own leadership power."
Dick Maxwell, Executive Director
Buckeye Association of School Administrators
