Clarence Callaway Sr. of Covington recently published his first book, "21st Century Leadership: Now What? Even Strong Leaders Struggle." Callaway, who holds over 30 years of experience in K-12 education, shares his thoughts pertaining to the challenges leaders face daily while maintaining their roles as principals and managers.
The book includes chapters on overcoming fears and establishing oneself as a leader; managing the business of education and building relationships within the business; a leader's perspective -- personal versus professional, and intimidation versus talent; and team building and being a role model.

He holds a bachelor's degree in health and physical education from Auburn University and a specialist's degree in administration and supervision and leadership from Georgia State University.
