The Composite Head: Coping with Changes in the Primary Headteacher's Role.
Boyle, Mari; Woods, Peter
British Educational Research Journal, v22 n5 p549-68 Dec 1996
Explores how a lower school headteacher has developed her own form of leadership in the face of legislated changes to that role. Describes how she created a universalist role for herself, despite conflicting demands. Argues that the complex demands of the role promote the formation of composite forms of leadership. (DSK)
