New Domains of Educational Leadership

Over the past two decades, school trusts have assumed an increasingly significant role as education providers. This book is about leadership, written from the perspective of the founding chief executive of the Confederation of School Trusts, which advocates for, connects and supports trusts in the English education sector.

In his foreword to this book, Sir Hamid Patel writes: ‘The skills required of trust leadership are complex and multi-faceted. In this comprehensive study, three domains are given close consideration: organizational leadership, civic leadership and system leadership. If we are to maximize our opportunities and powers as trust leaders, we must attend closely to all three elements, securing our foundations and extending our influence’.
