“Understanding Leadership could not have been written at a better time! School leaders across all sectors and in all areas of school life are going through a time of substantial change and uncertainty. Indeed many leaders at the moment are wondering how and if they will be able to adapt at all. Understanding Leadership is the perfect antidote to all this uncertainty and an excellent resource for leaders at all levels and across all sectors.”

Marcelo Staricoff, Head Teacher, Balfour Primary School

Leadership cannot be taught – it has to be learnt. Questioning, interrogating and analysing ideas and practice are fundamental to that learning process. This book is intellectually coherent, challenging and professionally relevant and supportive.

It allows you to review and reflect on the messages and implications for your understanding of leadership. Interspersed with questions, challenges and opportunities for personal reflection, each chapter ends with a structured review to help you identify strengths and possible areas for development.

Chapters include:

• Why leadership?
• Creating a preferred future
• Leadership as a moral activity
• Learning as the core purpose of educational leadership
• Leading through collaboration and cooperation
• Building capacity – sharing leadership
• Leading through relationship
• Leadership and personal resilience
