Succeeding as a Deputy Head is the book I wish I'd had when I stepped into senior leadership. It doesn't shy away from the hard stuff or pretend there are easy answers. Instead, it gives you the principles, the understanding, and most importantly, the confidence to lead well while staying true to your values.
