From an extraordinary partnership between a teacher and an administrator, best-selling Otherful is the easy-to-listen (and laugh-out-loud) book for those who’ve discovered that influence is mightier than control. Research-backed and practitioner-tested, it’s a brilliant resource for in-school PD, administrator leadership classes, and faculty retreats. Otherful reveals an ancient truth of leadership: the most formidable power isn’t force; it’s relationship building.

Otherful is an elegant handbook for anyone looking to improve their leadership skills, or looking to better understand the people in charge. This book gave me so much to consider and work on as a leader in my roles as teacher, parent, friend, coworker, etc., but it also provided insight into the effects that great (and not so great) leaders have had on me. I can think of three reasons someone should pick up this book: to develop as a leader, to help them appreciate the great leadership they have benefitted from, and to (as much as possible) inoculate them from the effects of poor leadership. The truth is that everyone is either currently leading others, being lead by others, or (much more likely) doing both at the same time, and Otherful is a well crafted, insightful, comedic, and thought provoking lifeline for us all!
On the Audiobook production: Otherful is one of the best audiobook performances and overall productions I’ve ever heard! O’Hara and Kleba, both trained actors as well as teachers have an engaging back and forth, sharing the text throughout the book which is punctuated with sound effects and music that turns it into a complete audio experience. The delivery is funny and heartfelt and shines light on great ideas and nuances that I had overlooked in the print edition.
Otherful is written toward school administrators, but any manager, teacher, parent, friend or leader of any kind will most certainly find more than a few nuggets to chew on that might just change your life.
I read the print edition in one sitting, but I used my commute to listen to the audiobook, and it was useful to have some time after each chapter to think about how I have or have not been using each skill and mindset in my life and as a teacher. It can be a lot to digest in one shot because the wisdom, anecdotes and comedy are so streamlined and pithy that they can fly by before you get a chance to really internalize them. It’s definitely a book to keep nearby, and read, reread, or listen to in chunks any time you have a few minutes.
