Leading and Managing People in Education by Tony Bush

This book deals with the essential task of leading and managing staff in educational organizations.

′The sequel to the astoundingly accomplished Managing People in Education, this book brings to the reader the latest developments and research in management considering the role of people in schools and colleges against an astute exploration of the key concepts in governance

Tony Bush and David Middlewood help the reader to consider the ways in which individuals function within the workplace, and explore the effective management of the people who comprise the workforce in schools and colleges.

There is an impressive use and interpretation of the international research literature, the authors apply this with considerable insight to the British context of schooling and management.

This is an essential read for all those following postgraduate course s in management and governance, and for students of social policy who are taking options in educational studies.′ - Prof John Doyle, International Journal of Educational Management and Administration

′Leading and Managing People in Education is a completely revised and updated version of one of the most influential books in the field. Bush and Middlewood are two of the best, and best known, writers on this topic today. This is one of those rare texts that is capable of being used by both academics and practitioners since it contains that unusual combination of a wealth of scholarship combined with lifetimes of experience in educational leadership and management. School leaders, advisers, University lecturers, and those engaged in courses of further study will all welcome this text. I have no doubt that it will become of the best known and most widely purchased works in the field′ - Mark Brundrett, Professor of Education at the University of Hull
