Adam Boxer, Head of Science, The Totteridge Academy
Adam Robbins' book is a superb guide and companion for any middle leader working in a school setting. Whereas most leadership books are full of generic approaches and strategies, this book is concrete, detailed and supported by a wealth of both experience and evidence. Whether you are looking for an explainer to assessment theory, a primer for budgeting and running meetings, or even psychological advice on staying motivated in a tremendously challenging role, this book has it all.
Middle Leadership Mastery should, without a doubt, become required reading for any current or aspiring leader - and I'm personally grateful that Robbins has written it.
