This is an empirical study of everyday leadership practices in
action in a post-compulsory education context. The issue of
'leadership'; the need for good, insightful and decisive leaders is
a prominent theme in Education. Yet few can define exactly what
leadership is. This book examines the phenomenon of leadership in
post-compulsory education through the careful description and
analysis of a long-term observational study of college Principals
at work. In contrast to other, more theoretical, attempts to
understand leadership, this book develops an understanding of
leadership by pointing to specific examples of what leaders
actually do as they go about their everyday work of resolving
organisational issues. Instead of presenting leaders as charismatic
heroes this book investigates a number of familiar, routine,
aspects of everyday leadership work: how leadership is 'performed';
the various technologies - email, documents, slide presentations -
involved in leadership work; the everyday management of
organisational personnel and meetings; and, how success and failure
is defined and understood by the leaders themselves. It concludes
with some suggestions of what is learned from understanding
leadership as everyday work and some 'cautionary tales' for those
who would become educational leaders themselves.
