Each chapter is built around a combination of theories, examples, and reflection questions-all designed to prompt self-evaluation and personal leadership development.

A bit like an undigested seminar, but still very much more helpful than a lot of the books I’ve read in the childcare field, highly recommended to those who haven’t a clue what leadership looks like.
