CaSPA Book Club

In the CaSPA Newsletter there is section called Principal Profiles and in the profile Principals have nominated: "A Book I Would Recommend". For future Newsletters I would like to broaden the opportunity for all Catholic Secondary Principals to send in their recommendations with a short summary and a photo of the book's cover. Hopefully you will like my offering below. Please contribute!

Kind regards

Start With Why - Simon Sinek

I am sure many Principals have read this book and / or follow Simon on LinkedIn. When the book was first published it provided a visionary paradigm shift by

encouraging leaders to focus on why they do things rather than only focussing on what they do and how they do it.

Simon explains the contemporary benefits of being able to articulate your "Why" to clients and customers is more successful than just telling them what you do or can do for them. As a leader at any level, we should be able to understand and explain what underpins and informs our leadership and vision of a school. If you have not read the book I think you will find it thought provoking and help you understand your "Why".
