There is a paradox at the heart of contemporary school improvement and system change in education. Why is it that despite the phenomenal increase in our recent knowledge about what works in schooling, standards still lag behind expectations and school level performance is far too variable? Unleashing Greatness addresses this paradox and concludes that, unless we focus unrelentingly on the quality of teaching in both our small and large-scale reform efforts, current practice will never meet society's expectations. Unleashing Greatness is a compilation of David Hopkins' writing into one concise manual to provide an eight-step strategy for unleashing greatness. Introducing a rational and conceptual framework for pedagogic improvement that has the potential for generating an increasingly specific language for teaching and learning, this book significantly aids consistency and precision in the quest for both excellence and equity for all students. Written for 'school improvement activists', particularly those who work in laboratory schools or who wish to emulate that ethos and way of working, the author himself has located his professional practice for over forty years, as well as this book, in the middle of that triangle bounded by the vertices of practice, research and policy.
Average is boring. Average is stressful with very little reward. Yet, many people are confined to living an average life because they don't know how to think and act bigger. All they are left with is that annoying word they have failed to live up to....potential. So, how do you take your life and your lifestyle to the next level? By blaming yourself and taking ACTION with proven methods. Defy Gravity: Unleashing Your Greatness Within is a straight-forward and honest guide for those eager to tap into their gifts and embark on the journey to personal and professional greatness. Entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs and individuals of all backgrounds are encouraged to throw away the excuses and take a closer look in the mirror for self-analysis, and to develop the mindset and habits required to achieve massive success. While many books on success and personal development suggest that people focus on obtaining something they don't already have, Ivan Thomas emphasizes that people should look inside to summon the power they already possess. Readers will learn key steps to taking personal accountability for their position in life, discovering and uncovering their gifts, eliminating distractions, avoiding dream killers, and launching into the purposeful life they've always desired. Ivan, an entrepreneur, celebrity publicist and author has personally launched successful businesses and has helped others to do the same. However, before that was possible, he had to eliminate complacency, get rid of the doubters and haters, and decide that fulfilling his dreams was not optional, but a necessity. Here, he shares valuable wisdom and insight, personal stories and powerful examples of resilience from some of the world's most accomplished and rising individuals.
Each brief chapter has three parts--original quotations by the authors, Rick Olson's page to teach a concept, followed by Robert Strand's page to illustrate that teaching.

"Unleashed is worth an afternoon of your time, whether or not you are already a leader. It is sparkily written and personal, drawing on the experiences of co-authors (and spouses) Frei and Morriss."— Financial Times Leadership isn't easy. It takes grit, courage, and vision, among other things, that can be hard to come by on your toughest days. When leaders and aspiring leaders seek out advice, they're often told to try harder. Dig deeper. Look in the mirror and own your natural-born strengths and fix any real or perceived career-limiting deficiencies. Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer a different worldview. They argue that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you do as a leader: build others up. Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people—and making sure this impact endures even in your absence. As Frei and Morriss show through inspiring stories from ancient Rome to present-day Silicon Valley, the origins of great leadership are found, paradoxically, not in worrying about your own status and advancement, but in the unrelenting focus on other people's potential. Unleashed provides radical advice for the practice of leadership today. Showing how the boldest, most effective leaders use a special combination of trust, love, and belonging to create an environment in which other people can excel, Frei and Morriss offer practical, battle-tested tools—based on their work with companies such as Uber, Riot Games, WeWork, and others—along with interviews and stories from their own personal experience, to make these ideas come alive. This book is your indispensable guide for unleashing greatness in other people . . . and, ultimately, in yourself. To learn more, please visit theleadersguide.com.
