However, most teachers went into education because they wanted to be teachers, not leaders, so they often haven't had any training into how to lead a subject area.
This book seeks to deliver a whole range of practical solutions to the challenges that the role presents. The areas covered range from setting and communicating your vision, delivering high quality learning across all classes and developing rigorous and effective systems of self evaluation to understanding and developing a transformational leadership style.
Hugely accessible and realistic, the book also tackles some of the other critical issues that sometimes face subject leaders. Practical solutions are offered around the issues of working with under-performing colleagues as well as managing the stresses of the role.

About the author
Phil Beadle knows a bit about bringing creative projects to fruit. His self-described ‘renaissance dilettantism’ is best summed up by Mojo magazine’s description of him as a ‘burnished voice soul man and left wing educationalist’. He is the author of ten books on a variety of subjects, including the acclaimed Dancing About Architecture, described in Brain Pickings as ‘a strong, pointed conceptual vision for the nature and origin of creativity’. As songwriter Philip Kane, his work has been described in Uncut magazine as having ‘novelistic range and ambition’ and in Mojo as having a ‘rare ability to find romance in the dirt’ along with ‘bleakly literate lyricism’. He has won national awards for both teaching and broadcasting, was a columnist for the Guardian newspaper for nine years and has written for every broadsheet newspaper in the UK, as well as the Sydney Morning Herald. Phil is also one of the most experienced, gifted and funniest public speakers in the UK.
