Against All Odds: A Woman's Rise to Leadership - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

They laughed when she said she wanted to lead. Then she turned around the schools everyone had written off. Tameka Hyland grew up in the Deep South, where expectations for girls like her were quietly set low. She was raised by a grandmother with a sixth-grade education and a faith that never broke. She learned early that the hardest doubters aren't always strangers. Sometimes they're the people you grew up with. When she returned home to lead a high school that had failed for over a decade, the resistance was fierce. Former friends spread rumors. Colleagues sabotaged her work behind closed doors. A school board dismissed her ideas. Four years later, the graduation rate had climbed from 56 to 91 percent and the school had earned national recognition. Part memoir, part leadership workbook, this book shows you how to:Keep going when your success makes others uncomfortable Treat rejection as redirection instead of defeat Lead through crisis without losing yourself Find your true tribe and protect your peace Build a legacy rooted in faith, not applause Each chapter includes reflection questions, journaling exercises, and affirmations to help you apply the lessons to your own journey. If you've ever been told you're too much or not enough, this book is your reminder that where you start doesn't decide where you finish.
