Systems Leadership
The new edition of this influential and bestselling book is concerned with how people come together to achieve a productive purpose.

The School I'd Like
In 2001, The Guardian launched a competition called The School I'd Like, in which young people were asked to imagine their ideal school. This vibrant, groundbreaking book presents material drawn from that competition, offering a unique snapshot of perceptions of today's schools by those who matter most - the pupils.

Opposition to the status quo always causes anxiety and opposition, but when the iss...
