Publisher's Summary
LISTENING...THE KEY TO BECOMING A TRANSFORMATIVE SCHOOL LEADER
The Listening Leader is a practical guide that will inspire school, district, and teacher leaders to make substantive change and increase equitable student outcomes. Rooted in the values of equity, relationships, and listening, this luminous book helps reimagine what is possible in education today. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in public schools, Shane Safir incorporates hands-on strategies and powerful stories to show us how to leverage one of the most vital tools of leadership: listening. As a Listening Leader, you'll feel more confident in these core competencies:
- Cultivating relationships with stakeholders
- Addressing equity challenges in your organization
- Gathering student, staff, and parent perspectives as rich data on improvement
- Fostering a thriving culture of collaboration and innovation
The Listening Leader offers a much-needed leadership model to transform every facet of school life, and most importantly, to shape our schools into equitable places of learning. As Michael Fullan writes in the Foreword, "Read it, act on it, and reap the benefits for all."
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great content, mediocre delivery
Great overview of this style of leadership, touching on and expanding many points that will be familiar to those who have some experience with modern ideas of leadership. Alternatively, a great introduction for aspiring leaders who are unfamiliar with those concepts. Usefully applied to a schooling context with a big focus on racism and tackling unconscious bias through reflection. Unfortunately the shine was taken off by a lifeless performance delivered at a glacial speed. Thank goodness for the option to listen at 1.5x speed otherwise I would not have gotten through this book.
