This book explores school leadership through a cross-cultural
comparative lens, drawing on data from 16 countries located on five
continents. The book gives a voice to both primary and secondary
school principals, who discuss the nature of their work and explain
their understanding of school leadership, strategies used to
support their leadership, and how they 'do leadership' in a time of
unprecedented change. The book highlights a number of important
elements in school leadership: that it is personal and
internally-motivated; change oriented and entrepreneurial;
dependent on the qualities and motivations of school teachers;
dependent on environmental factors related to economy, geography,
political stability; heavily influenced by policies within and
outside the field of education; and dependent on partnerships
within and outside education. The book provides an authoritative
cross-cultural account of what school leaders regard as school
leadership. It will be essential reading for students, researchers
and policy-makers in the fields of educational leadership and
management, in particular those with an interest in comparative and
international research, school leadership, and education policy.
