We often say that books can reflect an author. This has never been truer!
Calm Leadership from Patrick Cozier not only provides us with an insight into Patrick’s own personality and style of leadership, but it also holds a mirror up to the many challenges he has faced and barriers he has had to hurdle to become the highly regarded and much respected Headteacher that he is today.
Whether you are an aspiring leader just setting out on your journey in education or a ‘long in the tooth’ experienced leader, there is something for each of us in these pages. Patrick skilfully gives us the chance to learn from his expertise, reflect upon our own experiences, and simply smile and recall when we faced similar challenges, wishing that ‘if only we knew then what we know now’.
A thoroughly enjoyable read.
