Lead with Appreciation

Make Your Campus a Place Where People Want to Work

Positive recognition and appreciation can transform your school from a place where people have to work into one where they want to work and enjoy bringing their best every day. And that transformation starts with the leader! 

Your staff pours time and energy into learners every single day. As a busy PIRATE leader, you know that even the best crews need the direction of a great captain. But what does that look like? And how can you provide meaningful recognition and encouragement when your schedule is full and your budget is limited?

In Lead with Appreciation, a Lead Like a PIRATE Guide, Amber Teamann and Melinda Miller offer practical and doable strategies to revolutionize your campus culture!  

“Teamann and Miller help leaders at all levels recognize that culture isn't something you think about just once; it has to happen regularly. It's an ongoing process!”

—Shawn Achor, New York Times best-selling author of Big Potential and The Happiness Advantage 

“If you want to learn the keys to motivating and empowering your staff or developing relationships through service on a deeper level, you need to get this book immediately. I will be the first one in line!”

—Salome Thomas-EL, award-winning principal, speaker and coauthor of Passionate Leadership

“Lead with Appreciation is a gift to school leaders looking for ways to support and encourage their staff throughout the year.”

—Jessica Cabeen, principal, speaker, author of Hacking Early Learning, coauthor of Balance Like A Pirate

“Lead with Appreciation puts action behind servant leadership theory. . . . I strongly encourage you to add this to your leadership library!”

—Sanée Bell, EdD, principal, speaker, author of Be Excellent on Purpose
