Reviews

The SLT principles outlined in this book have changed the way I think, plan and act as a leader. Using them has distinctly helped me in successfully creating and leading positive cultural change across a range of schools and colleges. Noel Rawlins, Principal Western Cape College, Queensland, Australia Improving Schools using Systems Leadership has the potential to become a pivotal compendium within the global literature on Systems Leadership. Concepts and foundations are introduced and applied to schooling and the work of the principal, concluding with the pertinent question, what does this mean for schools? This book is a must read for educators of our future generation of leaders. Dr Paul Lynch, James Cook University, Queensland, Australia


In the highly technical field of education, the missing ingredient is often a strong, positive culture. Systems Leadership is essential for a school leader to build highly effective social processes to position their school to improve student outcomes. Applying the models, tools and concepts of Systems Leadership has enabled me to turn intention into reality and create the conditions in my school where people can work productively to their potential. Systems Leadership has been instrumental in my development as a principal.
