She recognizes the power of integrity, dignity and respect. These attributes are often not recognizes for their leadership value because they get lost in the midst of 'authority, position, or status.' In addition, I appreciate the fact that Debra acknowledges that a 'leader who is low key and deliberate is not less effective at achieving goals than her charismatic, quick-footed counterpart.' Too often, the latter overshadows the former. Sullivan gives all of us the power of leadership. However, if that is not our choice, then she gives power to the role of follower."

"Learning to Lead provides an uncommon view of a common topic. In a unique way, Ms. Sullivan blends her personal reverence for the contribution each person brings with a vast body of scientific knowledge to help each of us understand what leadership is and how to be come an effective leader—no matter where we might be."
—Carol Brunson Day, President and CEO, Council for Professional Recognition

"Dr. Sullivan has taken some very complex ideas and made them seem obvious and accessible. This is a valuable text to assist teachers in identifying their leadership skills and bring them to the decision-making tables of our profession. I recommend this book to the many Leadership Empowerment Action Project (LEAP) groups around the country and keep it close at hand in my own work."
