Andy's latest book is a masterpiece, combining the vast expertise and experience he gained as a teacher and school leader with his extensive knowledge of the most useful theory and research into leadership. Brian Lightman, former general secretary of ASCL A very powerful tool in the hands of school leaders who are determined to do the best for young people. Chris Husbands, Vice Chancellor, Sheffield Hallam University and former Director of UCL Institute of Education This book is an important contribution to the mission we all need to commit to: developing school leaders of the present and the future. Emma Knights, Chief Executive, National Governors Association I cannot think of a more useful book on school leadership. It is full of good sense and practical suggestions, with a strong theoretical underpinning. John Dunford, former general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders Alive with real examples, this book is - unusually - both an easy-to-apply practical guide and a stimulus for new thinking and fresh possibilities. Jon Coles, Chief Executive of United Learning Rarely will you see the complexities of leadership and management made this clear and translated into a book this useful. Each school leader and would-be-leader should pick up a copy. Alex Quigley, Director of Learning and Research, Huntington School, author of The Confident Teacher
