Summary

In a world where educational leadership is often reduced to metrics and mandates, Kind Leadership by Joanna Povall offers something radically different: kindness as a powerful, strategic force for transformation.
Drawing on over 30 years' experience in schools around the world, Joanna demonstrates how genuine strength emerges through leading with empathy, kind communication and accountability. Far from being weak or sentimental, kindness in leadership builds trust, strengthens teams, and creates inclusive school cultures where everyone, students, staff, and communities - can thrive.
At the heart of the book is Joanna's award-winning 'CHASE' model of kind leadership, a mindset of:

- Communication
- Honesty
- Accountability
- growing Self-Esteem and
- managing Ego
Rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and Joanna's lived experiences in education, the 'CHASE' model demonstrates how compassionate actions enhance performance and resilience. Each chapter unpacks one aspect of the model with examples, reflective questions and practical tools that leaders can immediately implement into their work.
Kind Leadership ultimately challenges and empowers leaders to lead with a genuine heart. It is not just a leadership guide; it's a movement toward a more human, hopeful, and resilient future for schools.
Suitable for all leaders or aspiring leaders in schools.  
Available since: 03/20/2026.

    You don’t have to burn out to prove your worth.Do you ever feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never enough? In a world of endless notifications, blurred boundaries, and curated lives lived in public, the bar for what it means to be “successful” keeps rising, while our energy, joy, and fulfillment quietly erode. In Chasing Enough, award-winning entrepreneur and leadership advisor Mandy Balak offers a radical new model for achieving success and becoming the kind of leader—and human—who thrives from within.For fans of Essentialism, The Gap and the Gain, and Untamed, Chasing Enough is a timeless guide to leading, living, and succeeding from wholeness rather than hustle. Through honest storytelling, modern psychology, and her proven Well-Resourced Method, Balak dismantles the myth that your worth is earned through effort and helps readers come home to a success that finally feels like enough.This isn't another burnout manifesto or productivity hack. It's a deeply personal guide to breaking free from your internalized “never enough” narratives and stepping into confidence and fulfillment. Readers will learn to- break the “Yes Trap” and set boundaries that empower;- separate identity from achievement;- reclaim rest as a leadership strategy;- lead from sufficiency, not scarcity; and- cultivate the eight qualities of the Well-Resourced Leader: grounded, rested, calm, integrated, present, curious, resourced, and vital.In a culture that glorifies overwork, perfectionism, and achievement, high-performing leaders are beginning to ask a deeper question: Who am I without the hustle? For ambitious doers and over-givers, Chasing Enough is your invitation to slow down without losing your edge—and to build a life that’s not just high-performing but deeply fulfilling.

    The Obvious Choice - Show Up...

    The world is driven by ambition, dreams, expectations, wishes and desires. We all believe we are the obvious choice to be selected, noted, identified, appointed or anointed. We may think and believe we are the obvious choice in many areas of our lives, but the reality is that this is not the case.
When your boss informs you that you are not getting that role you assumed was in the bag (and you'd already informed your family and friends that it was yours – and had even bought the attire to go with it), you ask: what happened? What happened when you were bypassed for the lead role in a project? You believed in your potential and you believed that everyone in your organisation and circle saw you as the main person, the leader or the 'go-to person', and yet you were bypassed and someone else in your team was selected. You were the obvious choice, weren't you?
Think of the assignment you prepared, the one you believed was the perfect presentation and would earn you a distinction, and then you flunked it. Where did you go wrong?
Mike Teke's book is about showing you that you can be the obvious choice, in business or in life, but that being the obvious choice does not simply fall from any tree. Without focus, diligence and a strong work ethic you are unlikely to succeed, no matter how much you think you're entitled to. The Obvious Choice debunks myths and prevailing negative mindsets. And, most usefully, it provides guidelines and lessons to prepare you for the journey to leadership greatness, to become the obvious choice in whatever setting or endeavour the universe presents.
Mike Teke has gained extensive experience in people management, business management and leadership at BHP and Impala, and as CEO of Optimum Coal Holdings. Today he is the CEO of Seriti Resources Holdings and the Chairperson and controlling shareholder of the Masimong Group. He serves as Chair/Non-Executive Director at the Anchor Group and Rolfes Group, and is the past President of the Minerals Council South Africa. In 2023 he was inducted into the SA Mining Hall of Fame and appointed as Professor of Practice at the University of Johannesburg.
