Leadership and Management

Educational Leadership and Management

A school does not run on goodwill alone. It runs on disciplined leadership and management, applied over years, by people who understand what schools are for and how organisations actually work.

This guide covers educational leadership and management as one connected field. The theory comes from a century of management thinking. The practice comes from running real schools. The two together produce the work of school leadership.
