Systems Leadership provides those involved in the design and delivery of educational services with a coherent toolkit to help design and run an effective organization. It integrates models of leadership, teamwork, capability, structure and systems to help create and sustain improvement over time. This book explains how Systems Leadership can and has been applied in schools to bring clarity to the purpose, structure and systems within a school and have a major impact on its success. Based on both theory, real data on education improvements at school and regional level, and case studies, it provides readers with an easy-to-follow, integrated framework for running a good school.
