Summary Note "As any school principal or administrator can testify, the responsibilities of school leadership can take a leader from an inspired moment to crisis in an instant. How does a school leader with good intentions preserve a healthy sense of self in the face of a crisis that in the best of times challenges the self and in the worst of times leads to deep wounds of the heart? How can good leaders minimize the impact of these crises and remain open to learning and growing through difficult experiences?" "These are the questions at the heart of the stories in The Wounded Leader. In these stories leaders struggle to make sense of their wounding experiences. We meet a principal who felt undermined by a contentious staff, another whose early mistakes ignited rumours and discontent, a leader who felt shunned when she took a position at a failing school, and a superintendent at odds with the school board."--BOOK JACKET.
