  Are current leadership roles and relationships appropriate in a rapidly changing world? Do we need to rethink key assumptions about leaders and leadership? Are you confident about the appropriateness and effectiveness of your chosen leadership styles and behaviours? These are questions facing leaders today and Understanding Leadership by Libby Nicholas and John West-Burnham can help find the answers, with an approach that is neither normative nor prescriptive but rather exploratory and developmental. Applying research and case studies from inside and outside the educational canon, Libby and John challenge prevailing orthodoxies and invite readers to reflect on their personal understanding as the basis for translating theory into practice. All leadership behaviour is based on a number of fundamental personal assumptions about the nature of human relationships and the basis on which human organisations function. Understanding Leadership helps leaders make their implicit understanding explicit and so informs and aids development of professional practice. Effective leaders develop and grow by understanding their personal mindscape the mental map with which they make sense of the world and developing it through reflecting, exploring, testing and questioning. The usefulness of any map is determined partly by its scale and partly by the information it depicts. As leaders develop, so their personal mental maps become more sophisticated and more detailed. The purpose of this book is to help leaders understand and refine their maps through reflective self-awareness facilitating the journey to understanding leadership. Leadership is fundamentally concerned with the complexity of human relationships, performance, engagement and motivation leadership has to be seen as relational. Leadership involves emotional engagement and sophisticated interpersonal relationships. The idea of a hero-leader single-handedly transforming a school is perhaps not a particularly useful or relevant vision of effective leadership for today. Libby and John encourage leaders to arrive at their own working definition of effective leadership and analyse how the myriad of carefully examined models and case studies might apply in their own school context. The eight chapters are underpinned by the following themes, questions and points of reflection: why leadership?; creating a preferred future leading change; leadership as a moral activity; learning as the core purpose of school leadership; leading through collaboration and cooperation; building capacity sharing leadership; leading through relationships; and leadership and personal resilience. High performance, effective leadership can be truly transformational. Leadership cannot be taught; it has to be learnt. It could be argued that school leadership is primarily concerned with learning: the leader's own, and facilitating that of the children. Questioning, interrogating and analysing ideas and practice are fundamental to that learning process. Libby Nicholas and John West-Burnham prompt leaders to do just that. Suitable for school leaders at all levels head teachers, principals, assistant and deputy heads, middle leaders aspiring to senior roles and in all educational settings. The book will also be of interest to education system leaders chief education officers and directors of education and, indeed, anyone concerned with developing effective school leadership; for example, governors and trustees, CPD trainers, coaches and mentors.

  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
  "The Whole-Brain Child" by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson offers a groundbreaking approach to parenting by presenting twelve essential strategies for nurturing healthy brain development in children. This book simplifies the latest scientific insights into how a child's brain is wired and matures. It explains that the "upstairs brain," responsible for decision-making and emotional balance, continues developing until the mid-twenties. In young children, emotions often dominate over logic, leading to tantrums and conflicts. 
  Through practical advice and age-appropriate strategies, the authors demonstrate how parents can use these findings to handle everyday challenges effectively. "The Whole-Brain Child" empowers parents to transform outbursts and disagreements into opportunities for integrating their child's brain and fostering essential emotional and intellectual growth. This book equips parents to cultivate balanced, meaningful, and connected lives for their children, promoting healthy emotional and intellectual development.

  Summary, Analysis, and Review of Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle Is the Way PLEASE NOTE: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials Into Triumph includes a summary of the book, a review, analysis & key takeaways, and a detailed About the Author section. PREVIEW: Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle Is the Way uses the ancient philosophy of the Stoics to inspire readers to succeed. Holiday argues that in each obstacle there are seeds of opportunity. The Stoics teach that you should find benefits in every barrier. Each roadblock is in fact a new road. Some obstacles are external: lack of money, lack of muscle, lack of physical capability. Other obstacles are mental: self-doubt, fear, lack of skill. Yet, the approach to all obstacles is the same. To overcome barriers requires three qualities: perception, action, and will.
