Leadership Lessons from the Field: A Companion Guide for Leaders

Leadership Lessons From the Field was written by three educators who enjoyed long and successful careers as educational
administrators. One was the principal of an elementary school recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence for which
she was invited to be a Leadership Presenter at the 2022 Blue Ribbon awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. Two served as
Athletic Directors of school districts with national reputations for excellence. Drawing upon their vast experience and unique skill
sets learned on the athletic field, the authors provide valuable insight into leadership. The book is a must-read for aspiring
administrators and a fine addition to the libraries of those who are always seeking ways in which to hone their leadership skills.

among all team members.”
