Leadership -  a matter of formation:   Essential elements for Educational Leadership and Management

This presentation will appeal to educators grappling with the notion of leadership formation.  Similarly, if you are in middle management or an aspiring leader, the session will open the Flinders rationale to leadership formation.  The critical priority for educational leadership programmes is the development of relational sensibilities; a priority that is all too often glazed over.
