Rezensionen
'This is an excellent collection of writers and their ideas...It is difficult to think where else such a resource would be available under one cover. An inspiring and valuable book that all school leaders should read' -
School Leadership and Management

'Brent Davies continues to do the fraternity of current and aspiring educational leaders around the world a great favour by bringing together some of the great thinkers within educational leadership, all in this one volume. This book is highly recommended' - Principal Matters





'[T]his revised edition is a comprehensive overview of trends and issues shaping concepts and practices in school leadership...It is recommended reading for any aspiring school leader, and a useful reference for the more experienced' - Headteacher Update





`At the very time when leadership is recognized as the key to sustainable reform, [this book] is right on the mark. This is a comprehensive, powerful treatment of all core elements of new leadership from the ethical to the political, from the emotional to the entrepreneurial. A must-have compendium for those grappling with the present and future of school leadership'

Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus, OISE/University of Toronto; and Special Adviser on Education to the Premier of Ontario





`The jewels in the book are the opening and closing chapters by Brent and Barbara Davies on "strategic" leadership, and by Andy Hargreaves on "sustainability" leadership. The book is worth buying for those alone, and for Geoff Southworth's reflective, practical piece on "learning-centred" leadership. This is one for the staffroom library'

Tim Brighouse recently Chief Adviser for London Schools and formerly Chief Education Officer for Birmingham
