Product reviews for Middle Leadership for 21st Century Schools

Middle Leadership for 21st Century Schools is a most timely publication: a book that gets to the heart of leadership through a clear and substantiated narrative accessible to all.

It is an informed and well-written text that helps readers get past the “what” of leadership by succinctly and eloquently exploring the “why”. Bill Lowe draws from his broad professional experience to illustrate key ideas and concepts, whilst constantly reinforcing these with a wide variety of academic references, and shares a wealth of advice and commentary on what constitutes professional practice. He also provides a range of practical activities and accompanying reflections that guide the reader through the fundamental differences between managers and leaders. Importantly, he also covers system leadership - which is so pertinent considering the shifting educational landscape of school leadership with the emergence of alliances and multi-academy trusts.



Quite simply, Middle Leadership for 21st Century Schools is a vital resource for all who aspire to lead and for all who do lead.
