Henry Tomlinson discusses how important it is that leaders of educational organizations know themselves in order to be successful. How that process of self-knowing can be undertaken is carefully developed in the first six chapters through discussion of a variety of approaches for this. The focus is initially very much on personal development through self-understanding and self-management because this has to be the basis for profound professional development. This book is organized into the following 20 chapters: (1) "Self-Management and Personal Development"; (2) "Self-Understanding, Personality and Psychometric Instruments"; (3) "Emotional Intelligence"; (4) "360-degree Feedback"; (5) "Accelerated Learning, the Brain, Competencies and Interviews"; (6) "Neurolinguistic Programming and Professional Development: Improving Communication Skills"; (7) "Developing Creativity, Intuition and Innovation in Schools"; (8) "Managing Stress and Managing Time"; (9) "Career Development and Development as a Professional"; (10) "Training, Coaching and Mentoring"; (11) "Interpersonal Skills, Decision-Making and Team Learning"; (12) "Leadership Development"; (13) "Performance Management"; (14) "Ethics, Values, Vision, Mission and Gender"; (15) "Culture, Change and Organizational Health"; (16) "Strategy"; (17) "Quality Models"; (18) "The Learning Organization and Knowledge Management"; (19) "Business Process Re-engineering: Achieving Radical Change"; and (20) "Work and Life: Achieving a Balance and Planning for the Future". An index is also included.
