This book is slim but mighty. Jargon is at a minimum, and the author strikes an ideal balance between providing structure and allowing for flexibility in implementation. I appreciated the focus on implementation in public sector organizations, as many books have an exclusive private sector bent. The author's message is accessible to those working in the public sector. In fact, we had the author speak as part of a learning series for managers – the session received rave reviews, with one participant calling it the "best presentation of the series." Highly recommend!

My organization has developed a professional learning model with strong research-validated results across multiple education topics (math, science, social-emotional learning). Our approach to implementation is well-reflected in the lessons from this book. In an era of ever-changing reforms, this book is nothing short of a survival guide for getting initiatives implemented with strong results while avoiding burnout.

An excellent guide for rethinking how to approach education and leadership in our changing world. The author provides examples from his extensive experience in public education alongside interesting anecdotes. This is a great read not just for those in the world of education, but also for anyone who wants to focus on the effective and efficient implementation of their goals.

This book is easy to read, digest, and apply. Having worked directly with the EdScale team for nearly five years, I can personally attest to the positive impact of these strategies on myself and other members of our team. This book benefits those early in their careers as well as seasoned professionals. Highly recommend.

The author's straightforward approach to implementation has been critical to our work. I'd recommend this to anyone. Working with the author himself on helping my team’s own implementation, I can vouch for the steps and lessons as effective practices not only to drive a project or a team, but to drive systemic change.

This book is a succinct approach to planning and can help strategists think through key questions that inform where your business needs to go. The most valuable part it, while often strategic planning methods involve overcomplicated methodologies and measurements, Thomas DeWire, breaks it down to ensure that you're not over-planning. It helps organizations break the cycle of constant planning and measurement and instead enables us to actually execute on the work to be done. Highly recommend.

I am grateful to have received this book during the first week of a new job. I love the timeliness, quotes, and immediate action items that can used professionally and personally. I am using this as a guide rather than a quick read. My initial takeaway is that “small consistent victories compound over time.”
