Griffiths has made an important contribution as many school leaders will find this book a valuable resource in their day-to-day efforts to make their schools more holistic and inclusive.
~John P. Miller, author of The Holistic Curriculum and Whole Child Education
In The Leader Reader, Griffiths, Lowrey, and Cassar have assembled the narratives of school leaders from around the globe who share their experiences and musings about the lived emotions and mindset of their life's work. Leadership for them is more than just a set of intellectual constructs or formal titles, it is a way of being and doing that evolves over the course of a career, or even from one day to the next. From a professor trying to explain and understand his role in mediating the construction of knowledge with his students to an educator who builds her community through end of school year cart wheels and chocolate cake, these readings position leadership as an experience that brings out our humanity and service to one another. For those entering the field or those with many years under their belt, this book is a wonderful reminder as to why we choose this path.
~Stephen L. Jacobson, Distinguished Professor, University at Buffalo Graduate School
