Lead Like the Legends Reviews

"David Steinberg has written a unique and imaginative reflection on the concepts of effective leadership. As an experienced educator in the classroom, in the school office, and at the central office level, he connects the realities of our day-to-day work in schools to the extensive research in educational leadership. Using familiar tunes and the life experiences of the composers, David guides us through the important characteristics of truly effective leaders, far beyond the nuts and bolts of good management. This is a refreshing and inspirational book for anyone who hopes to lead others." --Jerry Perlet, Former Principal and Washington Post Distinguished Leader

"Poignant. The way that David Steinberg introduces leadership concepts through the lens of musical greats and elaborates on them with real examples of leadership in action is elucidating. A must read for educators who need inspiration and practical advice on how to unleash their leadership potential." --Kevin M. Maxwell, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Prince George's County Public Schools, Maryland

"In this book, David Steinberg masterfully uses heartfelt, authentic stories and musical analogies, offering lessons to support the growth of teachers and leaders. His inspirational storytelling and reflection tools encourage educators to be bold, supportive, and visionary in their work." --Kim Oliver Burnim, Teacher Leader and 2006 National Teacher of the Year, Silver Spring, Maryland
