Theories of Educational Leadership and Management

In this established bestselling text, Tony Bush presents the major theories of educational management and links them to contemporary policy and practice. This fully revised Third Edition includes two important changes in content. First, Theories of Educational Leadership and Management takes account of the increasing interest in the concept of leadership. Leadership continues be one of the major criteria used to differentiate the models but there are now explicit links between educational management theories and the main models of leadership. The second change is that in this edition the author applies the models to a range of international contexts, including both development and developing countries. This change relates to global interest in concepts of leadership and management and to an increasing recognition of the need to customize theory and practice to each context and culture rather that adopting a "one size fits all" approach.
