| Editorial Review | Much has changed in educational leadership and management since the first edition appeared in 1986. Preparation for leadership in schools, colleges, and universities has radically changed in many parts of the world during these decades. Throughout this period, the editions of Tony Bush's book have remained a significant resource for scholars, students and practitioners, reflecting both continuities and evolution in leadership and management theory. This latest edition provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the range of relevant theory and ways of thinking about the interplay of different theories. It is a foundational text for all those interested in how educational leadership and management can be understood and developed' - Professor Jacky Lumby,University of Southampton 'At a time when education is about instrumental delivery and can do enthusiasm for reforms, it is heartening to see that a book about theory and theorising is in its fourth edition. Tony Bush's focus on helping the field to describe and understand practice is helpful and crucial for professional learning and development' - Professor Helen M Gunter University of Manchester |
