A deeply touching book for all current and aspiring school leaders who don’t feel that they will ever stand out in such a loud, shouty profession. So many of Andrew’s anecdotes resonate with me; someone always seems more confident, more articulate and better suited to success. However, he guides readers through a different way to lead – calmly, reassuringly, empathetically and quietly. There is no one way to be a successful leader – and Andrew’s book demonstrates this perfectly.
