Summary
"This book suggests that schools are complex, nonlinear and unpredictable systems, and that this impacts significantly on leadership, relationships and communication within them. As schools race to keep up with change and innovation, this book suggests that it is possible to find order without control and to lead without coercion." "This book will be of interest to headteachers and middle managers, and those on higher level courses in educational leadership and management."--Jacket
