Greece and Babylon

Lewis Richard Farnell

Beschreibung

The newly-elected holder of a University professorship or lectureship, before embarking on the course of special discussion that he has selected, may be allowed or expected to present some outlined account of the whole subject that he represents, and to state beforehand, if possible, the line that he proposes to pursue in regard to it. This is all the more incumbent on me, as I have the honour to be the first Wilde Lecturer in Natural and Comparative Religion—the first, that is, who has been officially charged by the University to give public teaching in the most modern and one of the most difficult fields of study, one that has already borne copious fruit, and will bear more in the future. I appreciate highly the honour of such a charge, and I take this opportunity of expressing my deep sense of the indebtedness of our University and of all students of this subject to Dr. Wilde for his generous endowment of this branch of research, which as yet has only found encouragement in a few Universities of Europe, America, and Japan. I feel also the responsibility of my charge. Years of study have shown me the magnitude of the subject, the pitfalls that here—more, perhaps, than in other fields—beset the unwary, and the multiplicity of aspects from which it may be studied. Having no predecessor, I cannot follow, but may be called upon rather to set, a precedent.

Calm Leadership - Developing...

Patrick Cozier

Drawing on his twenty-four years' experience, Patrick Cozier reflects on the reality of school leadership in Calm Leadership, providing a candid and personal account of his journey. Patrick first stepped into headship in 2006, one of the few Black school leaders in the UK at the time. Over the next two decades, he learned to lead through the highs and lows of the role, from navigating imposter syndrome and everyday pressures to experiencing moments of joy and hard-won progress and to do so calmly.
At the heart of this book is Patrick's 'CALM' leadership model, honed and crafted by him over many years, which entails:

- Confronting uncalm feelings
- Adapting to the feeling of leadership
- Leading people with humanity and understanding
- Maturing into the leader you are meant to be
This model offers a framework for managing stress, staying well and maintaining a positive outlook so that readers can sustain leadership roles in the long term.  This book addresses a part of leadership that's often overlooked: what it actually feels like to lead.
The central message of this book is that leadership doesn't have to be a burnout job; it can be a source of joy, fulfilment and lasting impact when approached with the right mindset and strategies, which Patrick presents with clarity, passion and heart.
Essential for current and aspiring school leaders at all levels.
