This book presents a new approach to school leadership - Holistic
School Leadership, whereby school leaders lead schools through
systems-thinking concepts and procedures. Facing growing
complexity, change and diversity, school leaders need to regularly
apply the systems view and perform at the systems level. This book
proposes a holistic approach, providing school leaders with
systemic principles of action for excellence in education. "What a
wonderful book - once I started it, I couldn't put it down. The
book masterfully makes a systems leadership perspective accessible
and grounded in the reality of the daily life of educators.
Holistic School Leadership is a "must read" for anyone who has the
responsibility for making schools better places, from professors to
emerging teacher leaders." Karen Seashore (Louis), Regents
Professor of Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development,
University of Minnesota "Shaked and Schechter have constructed a
much needed bridge to the future of educational leadership, a
future of systemic thinking and positivity." Joseph Murphy,
Professor of Education and Public Policy, Peabody College of
Education, Vanderbilt University "Shaked and Schechter offer a
comprehensive yet concise account of the meaning of systems
thinking. The authors systematically develop their Holistic School
Leadership approach with compelling examples, carefully attending
to the perennial challenge of implementation. Important reading for
scholars and practitioners of school leadership and management!"
James P. Spillane, Olin Professor in Learning and Organizational
Change, Northwestern University "This is the most important book on
systems thinking since Senge's (1990) seminal work on learning
organizations. Shaked and Schechter demonstrate the critical and
practical utility of systems thinking for school leaders-a must
read for all reflective practitioners." Wayne K. Hoy, Professor
Emeritus, The Ohio State University. "Holistic School Leadership
provides an innovative and exciting look into a new perspective on
educational leadership that holds tremendous potential in reshaping
educational research, policy, and practice. The idea of
interdependence alone makes this powerful new book required reading
for anyone concerned with the future of education and educational
leadership in particular. Give yourself, your colleagues, your
students, and your system the gift of the wisdom in this book."
Alan J. Daly, Chair and Professor, Department of Education Studies,
University of California, San Diego "In this informative book,
Shaked and Schechter offer a fresh application of systems thinking
to schools and to the work of school leaders. This book is a useful
addition to the bookshelves of both those who prepare and those who
support school leaders." Megan Tschannen-Moran, Professor of
Educational Leadership, College of William and Mary
