Beschreibungen

<p>In <i>Sustainable Leadership</i>, Andy Hargreaves and Dean Fink address one of the most important and often neglected aspects of leadership: sustainability. The authors set out a compelling and original framework of seven principles for sustainable leadership characterized by <b>Depth</b> of learning and real achievement rather than superficially tested performance; <b>Length</b> of impact over the long haul, beyond individual leaders, through effectively managed succession; <b>Breadth</b> of influence, where leadership becomes a distributed responsibility; <b>Justice</b> in ensuring that leadership actions do no harm to and actively benefit students in other schools; <b>Diversity</b> that replaces standardization and alignment with diversity and cohesion; <b>Resourcefulness</b> that conserves and renews leaders' energy and doesn't burn them out; and <b>Conservation</b> that builds on the best of the past to create an even better future.</p> <p>This book is a volume in the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education—a series designed to meet the demand for new ideas and insights about leadership in schools.</p>
