The work of leaders will increasingly be shaped by three overriding but contradictory themes: design; distribution; and disengagement.

Distributed patterns of leadership have developed in response to the intensification of school leaders′ work under policy regimes of site-based and school self-management. Disengagement describes a culture of abstention, in which school systems anticipate leadership succession problems, such as projected shortages and recurring recruitment difficulties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Gronn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761947493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761947493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.40w x 0.41d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Gronn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065102807295,"sku":"9780761947493","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d124cb7-0790-44ef-91c1-daca7f98afcd.jpg?v=1768673003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-work-of-educational-peter-gronn-9780761947493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
