1. What have you found most challenging as a Christian school leader?

To clarify, I am not a "Christian School leader." We teach all ages, all denominations. We do not promote a political or religious point of view. All are welcome. See my website at www.School Self-Reliance.com. So, my greatest challenge as a school leader is to always match the curriculum to the diverse students.

This really varies from day to day....

3. What's the most recent significant leadership lesson you've learned?

4. What's one book apart from the Bible that has had a profound impact on your leadership so far? Can you please briefly tell the story of how that book impacted your leadership?
