Leadership Matters : How Leaders at All Levels Can Create Great Schools

This updated edition of 'Leadership Matters: How Leaders at All Levels Can Create Great Schools' improves the educational outcomes for children by empowering educational leaders in national, regional and local contexts to examine, refine and develop their management skills.<P>

Revised and expanded, with new diagrams and graphics, the author takes an in-depth and diagnostic approach, encouraging leaders at all levels in schools to think about their own personal qualities; their specific situation; their own leadership actions; and their own overall leadership approach.<P>

'Leadership Matters is one of the books I return to most frequently. It s a text for our time a epoch when leaders need, more than ever, to know what they stand for, what their non-negotiable principles are, how to communicate in a range of forms to a range of audiences, and how to sustain ourselves emotionally, morally, when times turn grim.' -- Geoff Barton, incoming general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders

Andy Buck has founded two organisations: Leadership Matters and #honk. Both aim to improve the educational outcomes for pupils by supporting great leadership development. Leadership Matters is a web-based membership organisation that offers school leaders access to high quality online development tools, videos and leadership articles. #honk is the organisation through which Andy works directly with educational leaders on executive coaching, team development, training and conference keynotes. His website honk.org.uk also offers hundreds of free-to-download leadership resources.
