Leading in a Culture of Change / Edition 1

by Michael Fullan

Overview

"Valuable insight for leaders who must be able to operate under complex, uncertain circumstances."
—Quality Management Journal

"Leading in a Culture of Change provides some sensible, practical, and sometimes provocative insights into leadership in a rapidly changing culture . . . [It] will be of great value to anyone in the field of management but also educators or educational administrators."
—Journal of Business and Finance Leadership

"Offers valuable insights into the dynamics of change . . . full of illustrative case examples, exercises, and resources."
—Long Range Planning

"This is a book for all would-be heads of department and deputy heads. Every serving head should buy a copy. I shall buy at least 50 and enjoy giving them away to those at the start of their careers in the confident knowledge that the next generation will be more successful as leaders than the present one."
—Times Education Supplement

"Fullan articulates clearly the core values and practices of leadership required at all levels of the organization. Using specific examples he convinces us that the key change principles are equally critical for leadership in business and education organizations."
—John Evans, chairman, Torstar Corporation
