This book argues that, in order to fulfil its task of moving schools and colleges forward to meet the demands of the future, the management of education must be inspired by both value and vision, applied to the actual management of people and resources. Part 1 examines key critical issues that should guide principles of school and college management. Part 2 identifies key aspects of the management and leadership of people, including case studies of effective team leadership. Part 3 deals with the management of all educational resources to achieve improvement and success in schools and colleges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, quality is the battleground on which global competition takes place, yet without effective leadership no quality program can succeed. This penetrating book exposes the problems that arise when leadership in business fails to do its job, and offers powerful, inspirational examples of firms that have confronted this problem and prevailed through leadership that aims at producing quality results. By highlighting the practices of such noted leaders as Walt Disney and Michael Eisner at Walt Disney, Ray Kroc at McDonald's, Sam Walton at Wal-Mart, David Kearns at Xerox, and Robert Galvin at Motorola, the authors reveal how each of these legendary leaders possessed three crucial leadership characteristics -- vision, strong values and beliefs, and the active courage to make their visions a reality. These characteristics, they show, make the difference between superior performance and "business as usual." With eloquent case studies, the authors demonstrate that unusually successful business leaders show the way for their employees by nurturing cultures that encourage and reward quality performance and by exhibiting personal characteristics that inspire excellence. A leader dedicated to a single vision, the authors show, inspires personal commitment to a common purpose. Walt Disney had a vision of a company that would never stop creating, innovating, and growing. Values and beliefs serve as the basis for direction and action in a business. Superior leaders, the authors argue, are expert in the promotion of values -- such as Ray Kroc's obsession with high-quality, inexpensive food in a clean environment. The courage to make things happen is exhibited most dramatically by Sam Walton's perseverance in mass market retailing. The payoffs for these superior leaders included the loyalty and commitment of their employees, quality, and profits. The authors' approach to leadership for quality management -- with its focus on vision, values, and courage -- emphatically demonstrates what leaders must do to consistently produce quality results if they want their organizations to prosper and grow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crises and scandals in the world of international management have brought a new spotlight onto how the subject is taught, studied and understood. There has been a plethora of literature on international management, but a lack of focus on how international management education (IME) can be shaped to respond to existing and future global business challenges. The Routledge Companion to International Management Education gathers together contributors from academia, industry and university administration involved in IME, to: introduce the domain of IME; describe the emerging state in new geographical areas; discuss the major issues and debates revolving around IME; explore the linkage of technology and international management, and shed light on the future of IME. The diverse background of the contributors provides a global perspective that challenges the dominant Anglo-American view, with up-to-date specific insights originating from their indigenous view points, which has often been neglected and inadequately covered. The volume answers important questions, such as: Do we need a vision in IME? What is the current state of IME? How has IME grown in emerging market segments? What roles does technology play in its recent development? The volume provides thought-provoking reading for educators, administrators, policy makers, human resources professionals and researchers. It will also give future international management students a glimpse of IME from a global inside-out perspective.

Book excerpt: Successful school leadership is not characterized by a particular style or method but by consistent commitment to a few very important principles. Above all, it demands vision and purpose. But these terms are evocative rather than explanatory. What can the school leader do to bind such concepts into a workable and effective approach? In this optimistic and accessible survey of leadership challenges, Gary Holmes has analysed the complex and often conflicting messages that bombard today's school leaders and distilled them down to five essentials: building vision and purpose; leading learning; managing people; dilemmas, problems and purposes; and accountability. Working from this five-point plan, and invoking case studies to good effect, the author builds up a model of leadership that balances the essential with the optional. While it is safe to say, for example, that without vision and purpose a school will certainly flounder, successful leadership still embraces a wide variety of individual interpretations and approaches within its core principles. This cogent and persuasive book deals pragmatically with the central issues of consensus, change, motivation and communication, and will prove invaluable reading for all middle and senior managers in schools, as well as educationalists and students of educational management.
