About this book
The transition to mid- and top-level educational leadership is often full of unexpected turbulence, confusing conversations, and mind-boggling navigational dilemmas that can send even the best leader into a tailspin. In her book, Against the Wind: Leadership at 36,000 Feet, Dr. Donya Ball helps administrators learn to face these challenges with courage and resilience. Several experienced top-level leaders join Dr. Ball in sharing their experiences, lessons, and advice. With hope, wisdom, and humor, they provide strategies for preventing problems, developing charisma, and facing adversity with confidence.
