The Unlearning Leader is about how today’s leaders need to connect for success. The premise of this book is that we all need to unlearn. In order to change and prepare for tomorrow, the authors submit that much of what leaders have learned must be unlearned as we aim to create a new tomorrow for our nation’s children.

The learning purposes of this book include:

Energize people to think, act, and lead differently
Embody innovative mindsets
Model and share new ways of leading from within the organization
Put forth the power and positive impact and legacy for leadership
Unlearn old truths to lead in new ways
Leverage connection opportunities like #suptchat to lead and learn for tomorrow
