Passion, vision, relatability—can we ever quantify the facets of successful leadership? Is there sufficient ’there-there’ behind these feel-good words to transform a school into a culture of learning and bold hope? Yes, and yes! Inspired by John Hattie’s impressive research, Fisher, Frey, Lassiter, and Smith bring their trademark clarity to turn aspiration into energized action.
For each of the five components that all effective leaders possess—trustworthiness, competence, dynamism, immediacy, and forward-thinking—leaders learn the first steps and bold leaps to mentor others. Each chapter abounds with professional development tools, including:
- Self-assessments so you know your baseline
- Pause and ponder questions to envision change
- REAL features to lead with alacrity
- Checklists to stay focused and strategic
- Relevant research to assimilate and share
Leader Credibility be your guide to steering others to that greatness.
