About the Book
Leadership is hard. Staying in the game takes more than pushing through.
Stressed Leaders grew from Dan’s own experiences as an educator, superintendent, coach, and leader.
This isn’t a book about eliminating stress or pretending leadership should be easy. It’s about recognizing what the pressure of leadership is doing to you and learning practical ways to respond differently.
Through personal stories, honest reflections, and actionable ideas, Dan helps leaders rethink how they approach the work so they can continue doing what matters without letting it consume everything else.
