Remarkable Leadership is a practical handbook written for anyone who wants to hone the skills they need to become an outstanding leader. In this groundbreaking book, Kevin Eikenberry outlines a framework and a mechanism for both learning new things and applying current knowledge in a thoughtful and practical way. Eikenberry provides a guide through the most important leadership competencies, offers a proven method for learning leadership skills, and shows approaches for applying these skills in today’s multitasking and overloaded world of work. The book explores real-world concerns such as focus, limited time, incremental improvement, and how we learn.

In this learning series, Kevin Eikenberry shares a set of powerful principles, skills, and action steps that develops leaders at all levels of the organization and anyone aspiring to be a leader. With the starting framework that leaders become remarkable through learning, Eikenberry sets out to challenge the participant to be more intentional about what, when, and how they learn. The learning model which serves as a foundation for the series outlines that a leader 1: Has an experience 2: Reflects on the experience 3: Generalizes from the experience and 4: Takes action. The is an upward and continual spiral of learning. Eikenberry contends that intentionally completing the cycle of learning helps leaders learn more from every experience and will lead to stronger leadership. This is a practical and powerful set of skills that are covered in a series of 12 1 to 1.5 hour workshops. Each workshop covers one key skill. These skills include: Championing Changes, Communication, building relationships, Developing Others, Focusing on Customers, Influencing with Impact, Thinking and Acting Innovatively, Collaboration and Teamwork, Solving Problems and Making Decisions, Responsibility and Accountability, Managing Projects and Processes Successfully, Setting and Supporting Goals Achievement. The key to the learning series is the flexibility. There are 12 learning units and the facilitator can pick and choose which topics they want to cover. Additionally, there is video content for each of the 12 workshop series.

Unleash leadership potential —one skill at a time Today's fast-moving world presents a challenge to organizations: Good leadership is more important than ever. But finding the time to devote to leadership development is increasingly difficult. Remarkable Leadership:Twelve Programs for Creating Remarkable Leaders was developed with these dual realties in mind. Based on Kevin Eikenberry's acclaimed book, Remarkable Leadership: Unleashing your Leadership Potential One Skill at a Time, this program helps leaders develop their potential in shorter-format workshops, each focusing on one skill at a time. A cornerstone of the Remarkable Leadership approach is the belief that leaders must be continual learners, and that learning isn't an "event," but an ongoing process. Rather than a one- or two-day program, this program is designed as twelve 60- or 90-minute modules, one for each core Remarkable Leadership competency area (learning continually—the thirteenth competency—is integrated throughout each module). With this flexibility, training can be delivered one competency a month; selected important skills for a particular group can be targeted; and a variety of other flexible approaches can be created to meet the needs of the organization and individual leaders/learners. This package includes the Facilitator's Guide covering each of the 12 modules, with options for delivery in 60- or 90-minute formats, twelve separate Participant Workbooks designed to support skills development during the session and beyond, and PowerPoint slides to assist the facilitator in being successful in preparation and delivery of any/all of the modules.

Paul Bambrick-Santoyo (Managing Director of Uncommon Schools) shows leaders how they can raise their schools to greatness by following a core set of principles. These seven principles, or "levers," allow for consistent, transformational, and replicable growth. With intentional focus on these areas, leaders will leverage much more learning from the same amount of time investment. Fundamentally, each of these seven levers answers the core questions of school leadership: What should an effective leader do, and how and when should they do it. Aimed at all levels of school leadership, the book is for any principal, superintendent, or educator who wants to be a transformational leader. The book includes 30 video clips of top-tier leaders in action. These videos bring great schools to you, and support a deeper understanding of both the components of success and how it looks as a whole. There are also many helpful rubrics, extensive professional development tools, calendars, and templates.
