Product reviews for Leadership Dialogues

-˜Leadership Dialogues' - having only just started to read sections of the book, I am already excited about the possibilities it provides for engaging leadership at all levels in the school. As a relatively new head, I am acutely aware of the need to dedicate time for both myself and my leadership team to quality thought and dialogue. This is inevitably an ongoing challenge and I already feel hugely optimistic that this book will be an effective way of enabling me to incorporate strategy for thought into our meetings cycle. The structure and format of the book makes the principles which are explored hugely accessible and the key messages conveyed are thought provoking and have potential to enable profound change. 

An ongoing focus for my school is increasing capacity (we are currently expanding and will grow to 7 forms of entry over the next 4 years). As a result of this, development and retention of middle leaders is paramount. I am in the process of planning a leadership programme for the most promising teachers from this tier of our leadership structure and intend to use focuses from -˜Leadership Dialogues' at strategic points throughout the course.
