Publisher's Synopsis
Principled Headship is a "how-to" book on developing personal excellence as a headteacher, concentrating on the thread of integrity that every person possesses. It presents current and aspiring headteachers with specific and usable skills in successfully leading a school. Unlike other books on school leadership, it provides practical activities linked to the beliefs and principles of behaviour that will allow headteachers to confirm their professional courage and personal integrity. These activities utilise the techniques of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that have been developed over the last twenty years, and harness them to the relationship skills needed in today's schools. The outcome of utilising these techniques will be practical and noticeable improvments in communication with, and motivation of, colleagues. Some of the principles are personally challenging; all of them are professionally supportive.
