Human Still Required
Leading Schools — The Work Machines Can't Do
A guide for superintendents, principals, and school leaders navigating generative AI in K–12 education. Make high-stakes decisions without losing what matters most: judgment, trust, culture, and the human craft of leadership.

The Next Turn
The Next Turn is about leading through a double transition: people no longer share one definition of work, and AI is changing the structure of work itself. The book gives leaders language, questions, and practical moves for rebuilding clarity, trust, judgment, and shared expectations.
