This valuable book provides a scholarly and readable account of the leadership strategies deployed by a group of successful head teachers in schools facing highly challenging circumstances, using the lens of transactional and transformational leadership. The exploration is enriched by a case study of a further school in challenging circumstances in which the newly appointed head has successfully applied the strategies identified earlier in the book.
