Product reviews for Calm Leadership

Patrick Cozier’s Calm Leadership is a timely and essential contribution to the literature on school leadership from one of the few Black head teachers of African-Caribbean heritage in the country. From his honest admission that he edited himself to avoid certain stereotypes about Black people to his ability to maintain a healthy perspective on things after his mother’s passing, Cozier provides a genuine, humane and inspirational take on running a school. A mix of autobiography and hard-won professional learning, Calm Leadership is a heart-warming, practical book, which will help any leader to train themselves to think calmly and avoid the tendency to ‘awfulise everything in leadership!’ One of the few books I recommend all school leaders should read.
