Saving Miss Oliver's

Just finished reading the assigned book for the Aspiring Heads Fellowship.  A bit smarmy, but I think it accurately reflects the pressures and pitfalls of  a headship.  I think. 
Reading it draws me to think more carefully about my reaction to setbacks.  Do I have the necessary strength to exit a situation gracefully, or would I be a stubborn bastard?
I look back to experiences at my current school and can see a little of my own actions in each character.  I'd like to think I'm more empathic than the majority of the characters involved, but I'm probably self-delusional on that point. 
I am excited about the prospect of the personality inventory we'll get in Atlanta.  It looks as though it will be a refreshingly direct assessment from, I hope, really frank people.
