Resumo

Drawing on the model of Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, Josh Starr considers how school leaders who are no longer in their early career can continue to lead in way that will prepare the Luke Skywalkers who are coming behind them. Obi-Wan shows that there’s value in stepping away from the action to become a voice in the head of those on the front line, that it’s important to recognize that others may be better mentors, and that a time will come when others must take the lead.
