Read excerpt
The toughest leadership lesson in Lean on Me is not about discipline, it’s about trust, tone, and knowing when control starts costing you everything. Coach Mike and Drae break down why Joe Clark works as a movie character, why he fractures relationships in the process, and what his playbook would look like in a real school today.
