Editorial Reviews

Debbie McFalone has a gift for helping school leaders find balance and fulfillment in their work. This book provides wisdom and practical ideas to help you develop habits of reflection and intentionality, stem the tide of unending tasks, and lead your school in a way that aligns to the values that brought you into this field in the first place. At the same time, McFalone provides guidance on navigating some of the thornier leadership skills: having difficult conversations, giving critical feedback, and building resilience during tough times. With all of these thoughtful practices and strategies, leaders will undoubtedly walk away recharged and better equipped to lead their schools. (Jenn David-Laing, Publisher, The Main Idea)

It is an engaging learning and teaching guide perfect to help leaders make a difference in their organization as they “Live Well, Lead Strong.” The writing is a true representation of Dr. McFalone--- warm, thoughtful and full of wisdom. Every educator needs to read this book! (Scott Korpak, superintendent, Northview Public Schools, Michigan)

Filled with stories and examples, McFalone is honest, pointed, and informative as she discusses crucial aspects of leadership. She dares us to become Uncommon Leaders and provides guidance to achieve that goal. A great read for current leaders as well as those have a desire to increase their skills and grow in their leadership abilities. (Eileen Depka Ph.D, author, educator, and consultant)
