The transition to mid and top-level educational leadership is often full of unexpected turbulence, confusing conversations, and mind-boggling navigational challenges that can send the best leader into a tailspin. In her book, Against the Wind: Leadership at 36,000 Feet Dr. Donya Ball helps administrators learn to face these challenges with courage and resilience. In this book, several experienced top-level leaders join Dr. Ball in sharing their experiences, lessons, and advice. With hope, wisdom, and humor, they share strategies for preventing problems, developing charisma, and facing rejection with courage and resilience.

Dr. Donya Ball is a superintendent in California and for over twenty years has been a change maker in public education, leading staff to inspire students to reach their full potential in preparation for life beyond the classroom. Donya is a professor of education and published her first book, Adjusting the Sails: Weathering the Storms of Administrative Leadership in 2022.
