Most leaders know empathy matters. Few know how to deploy it strategically. The Strategic Empathy Revolution changes that. Dr Loretta Piazza brings 45 years in educational leadership to this book, including 22 as a school principal and her current work as a Department of Education consultant and executive coach.
