“The performance of the principal is critical to school improvement, yet the challenges are mammoth and often overwhelming for even the best equipped professional. This book provides one of the most thorough and comprehensive guides to principal success that I have ever read. I would highly recommend this book to any principal, experienced or novice.”

Anthony Muhammad, educational consultant and author

“We have long understood the impact of highly effective teachers on student success. Reddicks and Merriweather Seymour not only validate the same impact from a highly effective principal but are determined to end the revolving door in school leadership through systems and strategies for success in the first several years. This book is a must-read for every aspiring principal, sitting principal, and those who supervise and support them.”

Jeffrey K. Butts, superintendent, Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township, Indiana

Lead From the Start should be a required textbook in every educational leadership program in the country. Through important leadership stories and research-based strategies, the authors have developed a playbook for school leaders that outlines best practices and systems to accelerate achievement.”
