Effective school leadership requires resilience during high demands to deliver results. Scott A. Laliberte provides educational leaders with strategies and resources to build mental, physical and emotional strength, using a balanced leadership philosophy inspired by athletic training. Through reflective exercises and leadership development tools, school leaders gain essential resources to maintain motivation, meet daily challenges and sustain their focus on purpose in education leadership.

K–12 school and district leaders can use this book to:

• Practise mindful awareness to respond, rather than react to situations.
• Integrate physical, mental and emotional health practices to optimise daily performance.
• Enhance decision making in times of crisis using stress management strategies.
• Build leadership capacity to sustain long-term performance.
• Reconnect with purpose through clarity of motivation and volition.
