Reviews

In this exceptionally practical and insightful book, Dr. Peter Stiepleman gives educational leaders permission to talk candidly about mistakes and admit imperfection. More importantly, he shows how entire systems can learn from those mistakes. These authentic stories are reality, not philosophy. It is precisely what schools need in challenging times. Every aspiring leader, including teachers, governing board members, and community leaders, will benefit from a careful reading and rereading of this book. -- Douglas B. Reeves * author of Fearless Schools: Building Trust and Resilience for Learning, Teaching, and Leading * Serving as a Lead Learner offers crucial wisdom for leaders facing today’s educational challenges. Peter’s exploration of the imperfect leader and lead learner resonates deeply. Drawing on powerful conversations with superintendents, his book highlights the vulnerability, reflection, and continuous learning essential for leading courageously. It provides practical guidance and inspiring stories for those dedicated to standing up for students and navigating complex systems. -- Sheldon Berman * EdD, retired superintendent; coauthor of The Call to Courage; professor of practice, College of Education, University of Oregon *
