Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on Professor Pierre Casses ten years of teaching, consulting and writing case studies at the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO. Many of the key issues explored have been the subject of much discussion and debate during training programmes and special events such as the SKOLKOVO Master Classes on Leadership. They have also been published electronically under the title SKOLKOVO BE in Trend. The BE in Trend series was published as a monthly teaser and attracted quite a few followers who found Professor Casses direct approach to exposing the very real challenges which leaders in the field face day-to-day, stimulating. Many of the issues raised are ones which leaders are reluctant to talk openly about. This is not a book full of advice and guidelines but is rather an exploration of some of the most provocative issues in a way that is intended to encourage leaders to reflect and determine how these issues might apply to them, their teams and organisations. It is indeed a very leader friendly composition aimed directly at the busy leader.

Download or read book Advocacy Leadership written by Gary L. Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely and important new book, Gary Anderson provides a devastating critique of why a managerial role for educational leaders is counterproductive, especially for improving opportunities for low-income students and students of color, and instead proposes ways of re-theorizing educational leadership to emphasize its advocacy role. Advocacy Leadership lays out a post-reform agenda that moves beyond the neo-liberal, competition framework to define a new accountability, a new pedagogy, and a new leadership role definition. Drawing on personal narrative, discourse analysis, and interdisciplinary scholarship, Anderson delivers a compelling argument for the need to move away from current inauthentic and inequitable approaches to school reform in order to jump-start a conversation about an alternative vision of education today.
