Keziah Featherstone, Headteachers’ Roundtable, WomenEd, Executive Trust Leader
Patrick’s book, like the man himself, is more than just calm. It is wise, compassionate, sensible and revolutionary. Patrick is a rare voice in the world of education and the communities he serves benefit everyday from his compassionate and aspirational leadership. We are at a critical moment in time: enormous change, multiple crises and the appeal of leadership is declining. Patrick’s timely book is a call to arms for leading in a more human and sustainable way – never have we needed his voice more than now.
