The secret behind limitless leadership impact Lack of mentorship and coaching is a leading reason for leader attrition in education, but it doesn’t have to be this way. If it’s true that “Everyone wins when the leader gets better,” then your community is counting on you to prioritize your own professional growth – so that YOU get better. In Unlocking Talent Within Every School Leader , Daniel Bauer – highly sought-after coach and mentor to thousands of school leaders – introduces readers to a strategic advantage relied on by business leaders since the 1930s. The mastermind is an exceptional PD model for leaders looking to level up – and if this advantage worked for people like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and FDR, what could it do for you and your school? Framed around the ABCs of Powerful Professional Development TM , this book will provide school leaders The question is – what would you be able to accomplish within your school if you showed up this year as the leader you were meant to be?
I am a Network Director in the NSW (Australia) public education system. Daniel's book, Mastermind: Unlocking the talent within every school leader has proven to be an outstanding source of ideas and inspiration for me when developing professional development for my network. Daniel's approach is grounded in reality - he understands schools and the challenges of modern educational leadership, and he has used this knowledge to create a readable, relatable series of PD and coaching strategies based around his "ABC" of professional development. Mastermind is the lens through which I view my work, and the work of my principals. I highly recommend this book to educational leaders (and aspiring leaders!) without hesitation.
Successful leaders create opportunities to continue growing, developing, and surround themselves with individuals who can push them in a safe environment. This is precisely what Daniel Bauer creates in his Mastermind as he unfolds a “how-to” in this book. The progression of each chapter provides leaders with solid information, research, practices, and shares his lessons learned in the process. All of this combines into a well-organized presentation to offer readers an opportunity to reflect at the end of each chapter, take deeper dives into leading authentically and be more impactful in our approaches. Take the step to “unlock” your potential! “We all win when we all get better.” Better leaders, better schools and do not forget to make a ruckus! Thank you, Danny, for a great book! #Bethesolutiondaily @BrendaYoho
