"An excellent book for existing and aspiring leaders across the
early years. A good balance of theoretical frameworks alongside
practical examples, which really helps to translate what can
sometimes be abstract theoretical jargon, into day to day things we
do or challenges we face as leaders.
"It's refreshing to have a frank, plain English overview of a very
complex area. I could immediately identify with many of the
challenges and scenarios this book presents and the activities
contained within the book make it a resource that can really be
brought alive to develop leadership across the early years. A real
pleasure to read."
