Description
Organizational crisis and chaos create drama that is complicated, layered and difficult to unravel without a roadmap. New leaders, especially those who find themselves in an organization in crisis need to hear how others have experienced that challenge and managed to emerge trusted, supported and having moved the entire organization to a new and better place without losing themselves in the process. This book provides a crisis identification checklist, ten strategies for managing chaos and reflection questions to support the leader’s health and wellness. Utilizing the familiar story of the Wizard of Oz and specifically Dorothy’s experience as a young, female, new leader, anchors the work and provides a familiar and comforting backdrop for managing this extraordinarily difficult and specific leadership challenge.

Leading through Chaos is not just another leadership book. It is a guide that takes readers through the nuances of leading during turbulent times or in dysfunctional organizations. Packed with resources and case studies, Dr. Leali provides leaders with tools and actionable strategies to lead organizations in the toughest of times.

Lisa Leali nails it in Leading Through Chaos! This is one of those books for leaders at every step in their careers. As written, "This book enables us to see that leadership is about teams who can work to create spaces that encourage and celebrate educators to be their best, every day, for students." Every element in this leadership book is on the mark - we're in this together, we're in this for each other and for students, and we can and will lead through whatever challenges we face.
