The Succession Challenge
Building and Sustaining Leadership Capacity Through Succession Management
- Dean Fink - Educational Development Consultant, Ontario
Foreword by Andy Hargreaves
Learn about the root causes of the leadership shortage in education and how you can ensure smooth transitions!
Throughout the world there is a perceived shortage of educational leaders. Most investigations look at the issue as a problem of mathematical misalignment. This book looks at the roots of the "succession challenge" internationally and more specifically through the eyes of present and potential leaders to suggest how enlightened approaches to succession management can ensure a steady supply of high-quality educational leaders. The author focuses on specific areas such as:
- Basic issues of leadership succession
- Demographic and generational roots of the succession crisis
- Patterns of succession management and their implications
- Successful succession practices from around the world
An excellent and informative text that is extremely useful for pratical application. Not suitable on this occasion for the level 4 module but would provide great application for managers of SME's and also for students from level 5 and upwards
This is a good source of supplemental reading on our masters programme for clinical leadership. it is short, focused and relevant
