Between the Idea and the Reality [EPUB ebook] 
Decision-Making for the Thinking Educational Leader

Stöd

Between the Idea and the Reality is a must-read for educational leaders, drawing on the author’s extensive experience in the education sector and as a professional musician to offer universally applicable insights. Through wisdom from researchers, thinkers, and personal experiences, readers will discover why the reasoning behind decisions matters more than the actions that follow. This is not about ready-made solutions but about engaging in deep, reflective thinking before acting.

By synthesising ideas from formal research, literature, intuition, and experience, this book provides a rich understanding of decision-making. It aims to equip leaders with a wellspring of wisdom to navigate the complexities of their most demanding responsibility: making effective and thoughtful decisions. Whether you are a principal, head of department, or aspiring leader, the insights in this book will enhance your leadership journey. Some of the anecdotes will touch your heart as well as challenge your intellect, adding a unique dimension that sets this book apart from other educational leadership literature.
