Become a better, more informed leader by devouring these inspiring, 15 best leadership books. This book recounts Viktor Frankel’s experience in Auschwitz, the Nazi prison camp, during the Holocaust.

He reminds us that the meaning of life is to define that meaning for ourselves through action.

Leadership 180: Daily Meditations on School Leadership is an inspirational book with 180 topics. The number of meditations was selected to match the 180 days found in the traditional school year. The number 180 also recognizes the possibility of a dramatic change in direction that can occur within leaders and school communities when leaders alter their beliefs, deepen their understanding of key ideas and practices, and develop new habits. Each meditation is numbered and only one page long. The meditations can be read in any order, depending on specific interests or concerns of the reader. Some critical topics in leadership are addressed in several meditations to explore different ways they inform professional practice. These core leadership practices enable transformational change that begins with leaders and radiates from them throughout the organization. Each meditation begins with an appropriately selected epigraph (a quote from another source). The author then discusses the meaning of the quote, the foundational belief about leadership underlying its message, and finally translates those beliefs into Today I will... statements of actions that leaders can take to integrate those beliefs into daily practice. There is a short index of epigraph authors at the end of the book for easy reference.
Reviews about Leadership 180: Daily Meditations on School Leadership (3):
Malann
Leadership 180 focuses on avoiding or solving the problems of school leadership. Sparks distills the field of research and scholarly writings into brief, easily read segments that can be read a little each day, or they can be used as a ready reference. Students in leadership classes, teacher leaders, and especially administrators, will find ideas, and source references readily available. Whether planning a meeting or working on school culture to making difficult decisions or designing team-based learning, this book covers leadership issues in an easily digested form. This is a great gift for anyone interested in leadership issues.

Good read to help begin an educator's day!

What a beautiful idea for a book. When I was a school principal I would find time each day to read something inspirational. Leadership 180 would have been so welcome. Now I will make this my "welcome to the world of school leadership gift" for all of the new school leaders I know. Thank you Dennis, for continuing to inspire and share your wisdom with so many school leaders!
