The best leaders lead from the middle

When school leaders join teachers, students, and parents in a collaborative effort to improve teaching and learning, achievement soars and schools turn into vibrant communities, filled with enthusiastic members.

Teaching and learning feel too much like work

With constant emphasis on higher test scores and teacher accountability, it's easy for schools to become places filled with stress and despair, making teachers dread going to work and students disdain lessons and activities.

It's time to bring fun back to school

In Hacking Leadership, award-winning school administrators Joe Sanfelippo and Tony Sinanis demonstrate how to increase learning by leaving the office and engaging directly with all teachers and learners. They identify 10 problems with school leadership and provide dynamic, right-now solutions. During this exciting journey toward change, you learn how to:

  • Transform yourself from leader to Lead Learner
  • Amplify individual staff needs while maintaining a collaborative vision
  • Employ unique strategies to break down the walls between home and school
  • Empower students and staff to own their space
  • Create a culture where Yes and Trust are the default
  • Eliminate initiative overload while encouraging teachers to lead, as well
  • Broadcast student voice
  • Bring passion into your school
  • Embrace technology and social channels in ways rarely considered in education
  • Eradicate your deficit mindset

What makes Hacking Leadership different?

Sanfelippo and Sinanis present leadership strategies in ways few people have ever seen. These experienced, thoughtful, decisive leaders, share amazing, real anecdotes that make you feel like you're listening to trusted friends sitting in your living room. Then, they provide progressive, courageous, and practical solutions that you and all stakeholders will love, using the popular Hack Learning formula:

  • The Problem (a single leadership issue that needs a Hacker's mentality)
  • The Hack (a surprisingly easy solution that you've likely never considered)
  • What You Can Do Tomorrow (no waiting necessary; you can lead from the middle immediately)
  • Blueprint for Full Implementation (a step-by-step action plan for capacity building)
  • The Hack in Action (yes, people have actually done this)

REVIEWS:

Many conversations that I hear from administrators focus on how to deal with educators, yet often don't focus on reflecting what they can do different. The authors do a beautiful job of helping leaders focus inward, instead of outward. This book by Joe and Tony, grounded in the importance of empowered relationships with the entire school community, provides some amazing ideas on how to develop learner-centred schools (learners meaning students and educators) in ways that could be implemented immediately. This is an essential read for leaders who are, or want to lead, learner-centred schools."
- George Couros ~ Author of "The Innovator's Mindset", and Innovative Leadership and Learning Consultant
"Hacking Leadership is a great read for any leader, young or old. It will inspire you to strive for excellence every day...while challenging any notion of status quo leadership you've had in the past. If you're looking to be a hands-on, in the trenches, innovative leader...then this is a great place to start. Veterans Sanfelippo and Sinanis have a way of making this kind of leadership look easy...and as a newbie principal, I know it's not! Hacking Leadership conveys meaningful lessons and allows for true goal setting that any leader (or organization) can put to good use for the greater good...that of the students!"
- Amber Teamann ~ Educational Leader, Speaker, Blogger and EdCamp Organizer
"For the last handful of years, at the forefront of the district/school branding movement have been Joe Sanfelippo and Tony Sinanis. In this book, these two renowned educators explore ten specific ways our schools can always operate with the students at the center of our actions and decisions. Furthermore, it is clear Joe and Tony are currently putting into practice what they preach, as they consistently call upon experiences to illustrate their points. This is a book for all leaders (not just administrators) who want to be inspired and make a difference."

Fantastic. I put lotion on my feet & wear them when I go to sleep. I often wake up during the night and will remove them to find my feet soft and smooth. They are strong and fit my size 10 womens’ size.

Great product to keep moisture in
Size: M (up to size 9)-Beige
These are so cool. I was skeptical at first. After an at home pedicure I put lotion on and keep these on for about a few hours. The moisture retention, and comfort and fit or absolutely amazing!

These work!
Size: M (up to size 9)-Beige
I’ve had dry cracked feet my whole life. Tried these last night with lotion from Trader Joe’s and literally overnight my feet are the softest they’ve ever been. I put a pair of socks over them and went to sleep with them on. Hard to walk around with all that slippery-ness but worth it! 10/10✨👌

Enables the person to move around while wearing.
These silicon socks look a bit odd at first glance but they work great and best of all, any lotions and oily creams are contained on the inside so you can walk around. They are very soft. I haven't had them long so I can't comment on durability, but they are not made of lightweight material.
