This is not something he apologises for; he feels imperfect leadership should be celebrated. But imperfect leadership is the antidote to this flawed perception. Now, in Imperfect Leadership in Action, Steve has teamed up with Marie-Claire Bretherton to delve in more detail into a broad range of themes under the umbrella of imperfect leadership. The authors explore the approach’s key principles and share a variety of inspiring case studies which give voice to a wide range of experiences from across the education sector. Features and benefits: Provides numerous prompts for self-reflection, as well as a range of engaging exercises for leaders to try out – either on their own or with their colleagues. Contains a wealth of authentic examples from leaders around the world who have opened up their own imperfect leadership as case studies to be examined. Includes a chapter on leading in times of change (such as the COVID-19 lockdowns) and how the principles of imperfect leadership turn out to be equally applicable in times of crisis.
