Leadership and Strategic Management in Education

`The book would constitute a good starting-point for anyone wishing to understand contemporary developments in educational management′ - Educational Research

`This is one of very few texts to give recognition to the difficulties in large institutions and to give practical advice about the degree to which collegiality can be built into strategic planning. The authors provide an overview of all aspects of leadership within education, giving ample references within each section for more detailed study′ - Mentoring & Tutoring
