Praise for How to Lead: "Outstanding" - "Great" - "Very well written" - "Sensible, pragmatic" - "Leaders up and down the country will refer to this book as a handbook for success" - "Readable and engaging" - "A one-stop shop for school leaders - practical, hands-on, written in a fluent, friendly style" - "Makes sense of what is a difficult and complex job, cuts through ideas and issues and makes them accessible" About How to Lead: SECOND EDITION - UPDATED AND EXPANDED FOR 2018 Countless books have been written on the subject of school leadership: some claim to know the philosophy of school leadership; others promise to share the secret of school leadership. Many of these books have value; they contain nuggets of useful information based on detailed research. But most are theoretical; they are not practical. Once read, they are rarely again consulted. As good as they are, school leaders do not turn to them when they need ideas or inspiration. How to Lead is different; it is a practical handbook for busy school leaders, a book of ideas which can be put into immediate practice and which can be dipped into when help and advice are needed most. Its author is different, too: he is not a university professor writing an academic research paper on leadership theory; he is an experienced school leader who's worked in a range of schools and colleges - as well as in leadership roles in the private sector. He has, at one time or another, managed every aspect of a school. He has helped schools and colleges on the journey of improvement: one school became a beacon of good practice in teaching and learning, another became the highest achieving comprehensive school in its authority and one of the top five most improved schools in the country. Throughout his leadership career, he's seen examples of good and bad practice and has learnt valuable lessons from each. This book is his means of sharing his lessons in leadership.
