Hacking Leadership: 10 Ways Great Leaders Inspire Learning That Teachers, Students, and Parents Love (Hack Learning Series)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found it to include very practical information. It is a book that should be read by any educator looking for ways to inspire students, teachers, staff, parents and the community. Each chapter or "hack" provides such insight, practical information, advice and great quotes, making it hard to stop reading the book and wanting to learn and do more. I am motivated to learn more ways to build relationships, provide opportunities for students to collaborate, to have choices, and the book offers relevant, meaningful, authentic experiences and advice for the reader. For anyone wanting to make changes in the classroom or school, the book leads you step by step through the process, provides support and encouragement through the shared stories and successes and failures of Joe and Tony. The real life examples they provide make this a powerful book. I recommend it for anyone looking to bring about some positive changes in the classroom and school.

I am in total agreement with all of the other 5 star reviews of this book. Hacking Leadership is a quick read full of many simple, practical, and useful ideas that leaders can use within their schools. Joe and Tony weave their real life experiences and ideas into each of the chapters and give you straightforward steps that you can take to strengthen your overall school community. As a building leader, I am always looking for ways to personally improve in order to strengthen the culture of my school and create more involvement from my staff, student, and parent community. After reading this book, I have several ideas that I can begin working on for the benefit of student learning. I'm so glad that I took the time to read it and would highly recommend it to others.

This book is a easy read. It’s one when you can take the ideas and use them within your school the next day. I love how this book includes useful information and it is organized in a way in which you can grasp the idea and visualize it in action.

What a perfect educational system we would have if all leaders used these hacks! I can see this is not an overnight process, but it's written in such a way that the suggestions can be followed by many schools. Unfortunately, some of the suggestions would need rewiring to be possible in small rural communities. Still highly recommend, because the mindset can be contagious.

As a school superintendent, I'm always looking for the next great book study for our administration team and this one did not disappoint. It's an easy read and every chapter has practical "what to do tomorrow" strategies that are easy to implement but offer high-impact. The conclusion, "Be Like Water," was inspiring and memorable. I definitely recommend this to any school administrator who wants to build relationships with staff and students and to remove any barriers for school success.

For my professional development this summer, I gathered quite a hefty stack of books to read. By far, Hacking Leadership will have the most impact when I return to school in the fall. This inspirational read is filled with real-life challenges and examples, as well as advice and ideas that can be immediately implemented. While it's a relatively quick and easy read, this is a book that I know l'll return to again and again. I highly recommend Hacking Leadership for all learning leaders.

Hacking Leadership is a MUST read for all school leaders, aspiring instructional leaders, teachers, students, school board members, and all members of every school community. Tony Sinanis and Joe Sanfelippo present a veteran perspective on proven practices that build trust, relationships, morale, and culture within school communities. Hacking Leadership prompts its reader to reflect on his/her intentional and unintentional moves and ideas. As an instructional leader, I can't wait to put many of the authors' ideas into play so students reap the benefits of informed and networked leadership.

This book was great to get a glimpse of how to be a better leader with firsthand experience from the authors! It was super informative and useful in my Masters class!!

this is a great series and I recommend all of them - I keep going back to them for reminders and ideas

I find this to be an easy to follow and thought provoking read. Came away with some inspiring ideas. The real world examples gave the ideas an authenticity not always found in directional books and guides like this.

This book was an excellent resource that was easy to read and has practical applications. Highly recommend for all educators!

Excellent - great advice for new and veteran Principals - Relationships are always the key to successful school change and progress

Good strategies. Insightful explanations about why group dynamics are what they are.
