Lead Anyway is a compelling and timely resource for educators navigating the weight of burnout, systemic challenges, and the feeling of invisibility within institutions. Dr. Karissa Thomas blends research, lived narratives, and practical frameworks like the Mosaic Intelligence Method™ to offer not only validation but also actionable strategies for sustaining purpose and resilience. What sets this book apart is its balance of heart and pragmatism—it acknowledges the emotional labor of teaching while providing clear tools to reclaim identity, foster belonging, and lead with integrity even in difficult environments. Both insightful and empowering, this work serves as a vital guide for teachers and leaders determined to find their voice and impact, even when the system falls short.
