Bringing together valuable insights from research and practice
undertaken at the world-famous Pen Green Centre, Democratising
Leadership in the Early Years illustrates how settings and
practitioners can develop and maintain forms of leadership which
foster collaborative practices across and within settings and
services. Effective leadership is key to establishing socially
inclusive and democratic practices and as such, it has become a key
concern for policy-makers, researchers and practitioners in the
field of Early Childhood Education and Care. Drawing on authors'
first-hand experiences, on systems theory, psychological theory and
neuroscience, chapters in this book illustrate the role of highly
effective leadership in ensuring that services are accessible,
inclusive and innovative. Practical advice will support
professionals in overcoming destructive systemic and psychological
dynamics to flatten hierarchies, improve relationships, learning
and educational outcomes, and to encourage staff, parents, and
children to contribute creatively to collaborative enterprises.
Accessible and insightful, Democratising Leadership in the Early
Years will improve understanding of approaches to leadership and
support early years practitioners, students and managers as they
develop their leadership skills and build capacity within settings
and the wider community.

Drawing upon a range of practical and theoretical knowledge, the
authors explore all aspects of the leadership role. Professional
development, collaboration and self-knowledge are at the centre of
their approach, in the belief that people prefer to be led rather
than to be managed and that leadership applies equally to the work
of classroom teachers, as well as to the head. The purposes and
processes of leading and managing primary schools, like processes
of teaching and learning are complex. They defy generalized
prescriptions, easy analysis and simplistic solutions. In this book
the authors explore the intricate processes involved in helping
people to be, and to perform, at their best, believing that
excellent leaders are judged not only by outcomes, but also by the
quality of their vision, their relationships, plans and policies
and their commitment to growth and achievement for children and
staff.
