Leaders and aspiring leaders from all over the world are constantly searching for role models who are successful in placing leadership theory into effective practice. This book identifies ten such role models whose heroic leadership behavior is analyzed in order to reveal what particular abilities and skills made them successful in their particular society and culture and how those attributes can be applied to one’s own leadership practice, whether that be as a classroom teacher, a principal, a superintendent of schools or a college president in the United States or elsewhere in the world.

Robert Palestini is graduate dean emeritus and professor emeritus of educational leadership at Saint Joseph’s University (SJU) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is also the founding executive director of the Educational Leadership Institute and Center for Catholic Urban Education at SJU. In addition, with more than fifty years in the field of education, he has been a science teacher, principal, and superintendent of schools. He has written more than a dozen books on various aspects of educational leadership.
