A practical guide to helping school leaders overcome those discomforting self-doubts.
"It's not that grad school was useless, exactly. It's just that I have a few notes. Sure, learning about leadership theory was cool, but the syllabus seemed to be missing a few things. Where was the seminar on handling an angry mob? On working with your bullying boss? On promoting someone else's unpopular plan?"
As a school leader, you know how hard the job is. Even the most talented and best prepared of us sometimes struggle to meet the complex, conflicting demands of stakeholders and serve our students and staff the way we want to.
Author and veteran school administrator Elizabeth Dampf is here to help. In Am I Cut Out for This? she reassures school leaders that
* Self-doubt is a natural response to daily encounters with demanding situations.
* You're not alone, even though few administrators are comfortable openly admitting to uncertainty.
* You can prevail by analyzing your doubts and strategizing counterattacks.
Dampf presents seven familiar self-doubting archetypes-the jittery innovator, the empty empathizer, the punching bag, the struggling salesperson, the mob mollifier, the short straw, and the instructional impostor. In each scenario, she "debriefs the doubt" by exploring the complex challenges the leader faces, identifies pitfalls to avoid in addressing such circumstances, and suggests ways to navigate a path to success.
Whether you are new to the profession or an experienced administrator, Am I Cut Out for This? is the tool you need to affirm, support, and inspire you to continue your leadership journey with greater skill and confidence

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
