This book is essential for anyone taking advanced programmes in educational leadership and management.

′"Leadership for what?" ask the editors of this important new book - finally acknowledging that leadership′s most important attribute is knowing where you are heading. Beginning to question the bedevilling assumption that school success is all about exams, this book is a significant step on the road from 19th to 21st century education′ -
