Reviews / Votes
'There are some poor books in this field as well as some good ones. This is an excellent one as it redefines and explains strategy, strategic intent, operational target setting and futures thinking for schools in an insightful and perceptive way.' - Management in Education'It is definitely the next generation of insights and practical solutions for heads who want to move away from the limited formats of traditional approaches and incorporate a real strategic perspective in their schools ... Howard Green states 'It should be essential reading for all those who care passionately about education' ... It is one of the most useful books I have come across in the last few years.' - Managment in Education
