The latest edition, the third, is very different from its predecessors and reflects how far the field has developed over that time period. The 20 chapters in this edited collection are from specialists and leading authorities and offer the reader, in a most helpful and insightful way, a truly international perspective. The contributions cover a variety of key topics in educational contexts, in both developed and developing countries. In sum, leadership and management theory, research, policy and practice are all addressed and research-based insights offered from both school and post-school contexts in a diverse and ever-changing education landscape. A most useful addition to your library! -- Peter Earley This book is essential reading for all educational leaders. It provides academic research in a style that is accessible for leaders across all levels of education. This book is extremely well structured, covering a wide range of topics which enable educators to meet the challenges of leading in the 21st Century. -- Martin Bassett
