In a rapidly changing world with threats to the sustainability of
the environment, societies, institutions and the people within
them, a crucial question for educational leaders needs to be: what
are these threats to sustainability, and how does the role of the
educational leader need adapting to meet them through this century?
Mike Bottery unpacks this question by examining how major terms in
the field are used, mis-used, or mis-understood, before looking
specifically at five covert threats: wicked problems, positive
feedback, exponential growth, inappropriate degrees of
connectivity, and tipping points. He looks at the impact these
threats have upon sustainability at micro-, meso-, and macro-
levels, and how understanding and meeting these threats needs to
change the educational leader's thought, values, and practice.
Bottery argues that such awareness should not only change the focus
of educational institutions, but also the focus of those inspecting
such institutions. Such recognition then needs to become part of
the cultural zeitgeist of present-day societies if future
generations are to inherit a sustainable world. In so doing, The
Educational Leader in a World of Covert Threats provides an
original, timely and essential re-think of the educational leader's
role which makes it unique in the educational leadership
literature.
