Level Up Your Leadership with Intention, Connection, and Direction

School communities are full of people who have both the ability and desire to lead. Some lead without knowing it. Most lead without the recognition they deserve. Whether you lead in a classroom, department, building, or district, chances are you know how challenging it can be to identify and develop other strong leaders, and to grow the leadership capacity of your organization as a whole. But ensuring that the leaders around you know their worth, helping them cultivate connections, and growing their confidence can help your whole team move forward together, helping the organization and the people within it to thrive.

Lead from Where You Are offers a down-to-earth, implementable approach to rethinking how we build leadership and community in schools. Dr. Joe Sanfelippo, a veteran principal and superintendent, argues that our focus must be on growing leadership potential all across the community, from students to teachers to staff. We can do this by reflecting on how we build a sense of intention together, how we connect with each other, and how we direct those we lead with compassion and affirmation. Sanfelippo’s frank discussion of the highs and lows of leadership will help new principals and superintendents feel prepared, while also providing useful methods and sound counsel.

The power of stories and moments

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2022

Confession: I already follow, read, and listen to Dr. Sanfelippo in many forms: through podcasts, on Twitter, and especially during his 1-minute walk to work and the classic bike check at Fall Creek on Instagram (which you have to follow if you enjoy dad jokes--I mean puntastic humor). I have been looking forward to the release of this book and it absolutely aligns with the rest of his work and ethic. His message is always consistent and absolutely resonates...it's more than "messaging", it's just what he does and who he is.

This book cements the framework, strategies, and actions of leadership with stories and examples to illustrate the why, when, and how they work. What I really appreciate about this book is the way Dr. Sanfelippo shares his failures so that we may learn from them. It's easy to share success stories, but sharing the missteps and challenges provides even deeper learning opportunities and helps the rest of us to avoid similar pitfalls as leaders or build empathy, compassion, and understanding for those in the role. His willingness to examine his own actions and admit his mistakes is the ultimate modeling of the messiness of leadership.

Although the book is written from his lens, it is not an "all about me" book. The stories and moments he shares weave a bigger picture of what it means to be a part of a learning community, building awareness of how we can work together to encourage everyone to lead from any title, any role. Every school community will benefit from the power of its members feeling empowered to lead from where they are.
