I am uniquely placed to review John Tomsett's book - I work in his school! Happily, the book captures the best of John's leadership: it conveys his passion for education, his commitment and care for those he leads, and it captures his leadership wisdom.
At a time of much fear, when most Head Teachers are being driven to distraction, with too many prospective Heads avoiding the role altogether, John provides the ballast of hope and guidance. The book is full of deftly crafted personal stories that touch the heart, woven together with useful professional insights borne of much experience. It makes for a book that is quite unique and well worth reading. Oh, and if you are wondering - he is a great boss to work for!
