Beskrivning
In a culture that celebrates loud, charismatic or dominant leaders, introverts are often told they don't fit the mould for successful head teachers. But in Quiet Leadership, Andrew Marsh argues that quiet, thoughtful leaders can be just as effective, and that introverts bring a unique skillset to the role.Drawing on nearly two decades of practical experience as a head teacher, Andrew shows how introverts can thrive in school leadership roles because of their introversion, not despite it. An antidote to the current climate of charismatic, hero leaders who push ideas through despite the consequences, this book demonstrates how great results can be achieved through quiet, thoughtful and considered leadership. With honesty and practical insight, Andrew offers strategies for making strong appointments, driving effective school improvement and boosting pupil outcomes - all while leading in a way that feels authentic and sustainable for introverts.Whether you're an aspiring leader unsure whether your quiet, thoughtful nature is 'enough' for the role, or already in post and looking to lead in a way that feels authentic, this book is a supportive and inspiring guide to embracing your unique strengths as an introvert.

Recensioner i media

Leadership tends to be dominated by the cult of personality and popularity. In a sector where headship is characterised by gravitas, charisma and other traits of extroversion, Andrew Marsh uses this book to provide insight into an alternative model: leading from behind.Building upon his own personal experience as an introvert, Marsh uses this book to offer a personal meditation on leadership that is grounded in research and practical application. He highlights aspects of workplace phenomena that are biased towards extroversion - such as public speaking and networking expectations - and provides advice for fellow introverts and those wishing to be introvert allies.The book offers an exploration of the importance of team dynamics and makes a case for achieving a balance of personality types within leadership teams. Marsh reflects on his own leadership experiences and on the importance of self-awareness and authenticity in place of the 'fake it until you make it' advice that those with introverted tendencies may be accustomed to.Often in leadership confidence can trump competence. Busting the myth of shyness, Marsh illuminates the beneficial traits of introversion - such as thoughtfulness, patience and active listening - and makes a case for channelling these attributes as leadership strengths demonstrated by calm, quiet determination and unflinching integrity.This book offers practical tips for school leaders- for example, managing interview processes, meetings and training events to get the best out of everyone. He also offers advice regarding well-being and social anxiety.Marsh stresses the importance of making school environments introvert-friendly for the benefit of our introverted students as well as adults.Helena Marsh
