“As a high school calculus teacher, I honestly did not see how this book would apply to me personally. I love teaching, and I don’t have aspirations of becoming a principal. However, Timothy Clark’s description of a true leader is what every devoted and caring teacher is striving to become! If all teachers were to genuinely put into practice the ideals described by Clark, the learning environment in classrooms across the country would change dramatically.”
—Craig B. Smith, calculus teacher, Lone Peak High School
“I have known Tim for nearly twenty years. He never ceases to amaze me with his ability to synthesize and inspire. This book offers powerful guidance for leaders. I am eager to apply what he teaches.”
—Eric L. Denna, Chief Information Officer, University of Maryland
“Tim’s book challenges us to have the courage to consistently model true leadership. As a parent, I think the most important place to get it right is at home.”
—Libby Macomber, Partner, Advantage Performance Group, and mother of teenagers
