Research has shown that school leadership is second only to
classroom teaching in its effect on pupil learning. As the demands
on management teams become ever more complex, this volume offers a
fresh and expansive view on the challenges to be met in developing
a leadership career. With contributions from some of the most
accomplished commentators on school leadership and management from
around the world, this book moves away from the simple 'how to' of
becoming a principal, focusing instead on the wider issues of
becoming a successful leader. The central aim has been to assemble
powerful statements from international authorities that encapsulate
leading-edge thinking on a group of interconnected themes based on
the notion of developing successful leadership in, and beyond,
schools. In so doing the text examines strategies for existing
leaders developing their full capacity as well as enhancing the
skills of those new to, or aspiring to, a leadership role. The
chapters contributed by a carefully selected group of leading
educationalists present insights on a number of central themes,
including: developing new skill sets in leadership, the ethical and
moral dimensions of leading an organisation, Leadership for
instructional and pedagogical success, developing leadership
capacity and capability through strategic activity. Rather than
taking a technical approach of how to undertake the managerial or
administrative tasks, the authors seek instead to develop critical
leadership perspectives and skills, with chapters on vitally
important topics such as strategies for maximizing the potential of
the leadership team as a whole. They draw not only upon the
literature in the field of educational leadership but also a wider
literature in the field of business and management. This diversity
of perspective ensures this book's appeal to a broad international
readership.
