Mackzum Meraki: Educational Leadership with Soul, Purpose, and Connection

What does leadership look like when it's done with heart and sustained by practice? Dave Mackzum could teach a master class.In Mackzum Meraki: Educational Leadership with Soul, Purpose, and Connection, longtime educator and principal Dr. Dave Mackzum invites readers into the real, unfiltered work of school leadership. Drawing on more than a decade in middle school administration, Mackzum shares candid stories from the hallways, lunchrooms, classrooms, and sidelines-where leadership is less about policy and pretense and more about relationships, presence, and trust.At the core of this work is meraki: a Greek word meaning to approach each moment with soul, creativity, and love. For Mackzum, meraki isn't a slogan-it's his daily approach. From greeting students at the door to mentoring teachers through burnout, from navigating crises to celebrating small wins that shape school culture, this book offers both inspiration and practical insight for educators at every stage.Written with warmth, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, Mackzum Meraki reminds readers that you don't have to be in school administration to lead, for every educator has influence and each interaction matters. And, when leadership at any level is grounded in connection, consistency, and care, its impact leaves a lasting impact.
