Leadership Readings

This page is a resource of links to readings that have inspired my leadership.

Open How we'll work, live and learn in the future by David Price 2013 
Price inspired my exploration of flexible learning and work spaces. I redesigned my office to be a collaborative, shared work space (see this link) and I included reference to Price in my first video Engage every student in deep learning for success (see this link)

Student - Centred Leadership by Vivianne Robinson 2011


Schools That Deliver by John Edwards & Bill Martin 2016
I am fortunate to have been mentored by and worked with esteemed authors of this book, John Edwards and Bill Martin and inspiring facilitators Mary & Lab Wilson. The focus on a workplace culture that promotes positive growth and collaboration aligned with a vision and values that everyone owns inspired my leadership for many years at St Patrick's school. A summary of the outcome of that work can be accessed at this link Schools that deliver 4 years on : a day to share and celebrate progress and successes Edward & Martin's conference around innovation inspired me to create this video Engage in deep innovation for success

Leading Collaborative Learning: Empowering Excellence by Sharratt & Planche 2016

Nuance Why some leaders succeed and others fail by Michael Fullan 2019
After attending a Fullan conference in Melbourne 2013, studying some of Fullan's other titles for my Masters in Leadership studies ( see this link to Fullan blog post ) I linked most of the learning in my sabbatical paper 2014 (see this link) to the paper by Fullan and Langworthy 2014 A rich seam, new pedagogies in deep learning



Imperfect Leadership by Steve Munby 2019
I came across Munby in 2016 when I explored an article he coauthored with Michael Fullan Inside out and downside -up I shared a blogpost in realation to this work in 2016 at this link. In the article, Fullan and Munby describe the eight critical success factors for effective system - wide school collaboration including the need for partnerships to move from collaboration to co-responsibility to a position of shared accountability.
Imperfect Leadership is based on Munby's own leadership experiences and reiterates the messages from the above article through sharing real examples around the importance of continued growth as outward facing leaders,  collective teacher efficacy and mutual  accountability,  purposeful school partnerships and rigorous and impact focused self and peer review. 

Ferocious Warmth by Tracey Ezzard 2021
