This is a timely and essential book for LGBTQ+ leaders - not only within education but across all sectors. Richly researched yet highly accessible, it amplifies lived experiences that are too often overlooked and underrepresented. At a moment when leadership and inclusion are more critical than ever, this book offers both inspiration and practical insight, leaving readers motivated to drive meaningful and lasting change. -- Ellis and Lou Beardsmore, Co-CEOs Proud Futures This is an essential and timely book that challenges assumptions about who gets to lead and what leadership can look like. Examples of LGBTQ+ leadership span from early years through to higher education, and highlight the power and significance of this work both within formal educational structures and through networks beyond them. This is the book I needed at the start of my career, and the one I will continually return to as a senior leader for guidance, reassurance, and solidarity. -- Lis Bundock (she/her) Principal Lecturer, School of Education and the School of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Brighton This outstanding book is a necessary and timely contribution to the field of educational leadership offering an honest, personal, and intellectual exploration of LGBTQ+ leadership across the UK education system. Through the voices of sixteen diverse contributors, the book challenges conventional paradigms, examines the role of authenticity, and foregrounds the transformative potential of queer leadership. From early years to higher education, the book weaves together lived experience, critical theory, and policy analysis to highlight the systemic barriers that LGBTQ+ educators can face, as well as the radical hope they can bring in dismantling these obstacles. This title is essential reading for educators, leaders and researchers committed to reimagining what leadership can truly be. -- Dr Adam Brett, Lecturer and Researcher, University of Derby, Co-founder of Pride & Progress, Co-Editor of Critical Insights into LGBTQ+ Inclusive Education book series
