Praise for Leading with Heart: Enacting Self-Care, Collective Care, and Justice
Too often, self-care, collective care, and justice are seen as ill-matched threads that cannot be woven together. This well-researched and very readable book weaves together these threads in clear, instructive, and helpful ways. The various authors show how care for self, care for the collective, and care for justice are, in fact, not three separate threads, but the same thread seen from different perspectives. I heartily recommend this book.

Leading with Heart provides significant contribution to the field of educational leadership by illuminating the intersection between intrapersonal wellness, justice, and flourishing systems of education. It provides a map of the inner resources necessary for inspired leadership—heart, vision, action, and wisdom—while exploring the essential role of mindfulness in developing these capacities. Most importantly, it provides heartening stories of awareness, impact, and transformation from those on the path of leadership development. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in creating and sustaining caring, trustworthy educational environments where everyone belongs and everyone thrives.
