I love this nuanced and practical book. Simon Breakspear's The Pruning Principle transforms the way you think about change. Subtraction becomes a catalyst for deeper focus, clarity and actionable impact. Read this short powerhouse of a book and lean into effective change.

This highly practical book is an important antidote to the add-on mentality that overloads and burns out teachers and leaders.

At a time of increasing challenge in schools, this book gives down-to-earth, practical advice to help leaders reduce stress, manage workload and focus on the things that make the most difference. I loved it, and so will school leaders.
