Improving Schools Using Systems Leadership by Ian Macdonald
This book explains how Systems Leadership can and has been applied in schools to bring clarity to the purpose, structure and systems within a school and have a major impact on its success. Based on both theory, real data, and case studies, it provides readers with an easy-to-follow, integrated framework for running a good school.In the highly technical field of education, the missing ingredient is often a strong, positive cultureSystems 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.

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.

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.
