PERMISSION TO BE GREAT
REFLECTIONS OF LIFE, LEADERSHIP, AND THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Permission to be great: increasing engagement in your school
After coaching hundreds of school leaders from around the world, I’ve noticed a trend: that school leaders are both their own biggest enemy as well as their own biggest opportunity. Permission to be Great shows you how to get out of your own way and focus on the latter. Taking action on Butler’s ideas is your path toward sustainable greatness.
