Taoist Lessons for Educational Leaders

<P>This book explores ways in which educational leaders can apply the wisdom of the Tao in their day-to-day work in schools. It offers an alternative to the standard ways of western thinking to give the leader more possibilities when confronting a situation. We tend to value immediate and decisive action winning directing and getting one’s way. Taoist Lessons for Educational Leaders offers another way of approaching the workplace. We can also value waiting and reflection before acting seeing all participants as winners or at least no one as a loser following as a form of leadership and giving away some victories as beneficial to the governance of a school. There is more than one way to “win” and more than one way assert one’s authority as illustrated by this book.</P>
