In order to guide your school with integrity, transparency, focus, and foresight, Andrew Morrish presents a unique four-part model. The Authentic Leader will assist you in reclaiming the agenda and making it a reflection of your core values through the application of cutting-edge research and the author's own 20 years of headship experience.

The Authentic Leader is perfect for the burgeoning school leader who wants to make an impact in their school, the school leader who is tasked with raising standards in their school, and the senior leader who is working on school improvement.

There is a four-part structure at the heart of the book. The first section, titled "Construct," is dedicated to helping you "Discover Your Purpose." Establishing your values, goals, and priorities at this stage is crucial.

As for the second section, "Connect," its main theme is "Empowering Relationships." Connecting in this way is a tool in gaining people's trust, interest, and drive.

The third section, "Commit," is all about "unlocking potential." This facilitates effective communication and cooperation, both of which are necessary for the realization of change.

Part four, "Create," is "Become: Delivering a Great Product." This section equips you to make a significant impact in your academic and professional environments.

Quotes from the book
