This book outlines an alternative way of thinking about school leadership. It examines research evidence that leaders will find most useful and suggests how they might use this evidence to maximise their learning and the learning of their students.

Why are some leaders able to raise student achievement in schools in the most challenging circumstances whilst other leaders struggle to simply maintain the status quo? This title argues that there are six distinct mindsets that characterize the way successful, learning-oriented leaders operate and make sense of their professional world.

"Leadership Mindsets is clearly well written and well structured, interspersed with stories from the field. The authors suggest that this book is for new and experienced, formal and informal leaders. It would also serve well as a text in graduate leadership programs."-Harry Janzen, Education Canada (Winter 2009-2010), Vol. 50, No. 1: 27
