Do you ever wonder how some leaders
make it look so easy?

Do you ever wonder how some leaders make it look so easy?

They are calm, composed, and confident no matter what is thrown their way.

“How do they do that?” you may have wondered … And in a moment of self-doubt you probably have thought, “I could never do that.”

But you can. There’s a centuries-old playbook that can show you how to make this choice—to choose calm in the chaos—time and time again. Stoic philosophy has been used for centuries by leaders like Admiral James Stockdale, President Theodore Roosevelt, and Arianna Huffington.

You can use these principles, too. This book will show you how.

School leadership is hard work. It will never be easy. But it certainly can be easier.

It’s a choice you get to make.

So will you ignore this invitation?

Or will you dig-in and apply this ancient philosophy and use it to your advantage and to the benefit of your school community?

These leaders are responsible for shaping students’ minds to better the world while also looking out for the needs of staff. On top of that, education leaders face daily challenges, critical decisions, resentment, anger, envy, and much more. In this book, Bauer and Robbins use timeless Stoic wisdom to provide proven, award-winning strategies and great team-building activities that help education leaders find ‘calm in the chaos.’”
