Conditions for Success in Competent School Leadership

Without qualified school leadership, educational reforms in schools cannot succeed. Now more than ever, competent leadership and management are needed to ensure that good intentions and projects do not remain isolated, disconnected, and ultimately ineffective. Together with leading educational researchers, Hans-Günther Rolff outlines the central new tasks and functions of school leadership. The book demonstrates that the delegation of tasks and responsibilities both internally and externally is one of the key conditions for successful leadership. In line with the leadership model, the authors argue against outdated guiding concepts and open up new perspectives for successful collaborations and networking.
