Challenging the orthodoxy of school leadership / Alma Harris and Christopher Day -- 7. Developing alternative conceptions of leadership and organizations through restructuring / Lynn M. Hannay -- 8. Collaboration in communities of practice / Jane McGregor -- 9. Leaders of subject communities / Christine Wise -- 10. Understanding curriculum leadership in the secondary school / John O'Neill -- III: The perspectives and professional development -- 11. Assessing the impact on practice of professional development activities / Nigel Bennett -- 12. Preparing for leadership in education: In search of wisdom / Peter Ribbins -- IV: Review and overview -- 13. Comparing and contrasting the perspectives: Mapping the field of educational leadership / Helen Gunter.
Summary: The charismatic transformational leader, who creates a 'vision' for the future of their organization and persuades others to follow their path towards it, is now the dominant viewpoint that underpins government policies towards leadership development in the English-speaking world. This book offers a much-needed corrective to this orthodoxy by focusing on current research and thinking about 'leadership' rather than 'leaders. A wide range of prominent international contributors present a rare self critical look at their own assertions and test alternative leadership models against recent research.
