商品簡介
Brent Davies and Barbara Davies (leadership development and educational leadership, U. of Hull, UK) take a talent management perspective on school leadership, contending that leaders need to focus on the future staffing needs of schools and not just existing roles. They explore the nature and dimensions of talent management and the difference between preparing people for current jobs and developing talented individuals for the future. They discuss how to define strategy and values for leadership and management processes; evaluate current talent; distinguish between the current and future performance of an individual; develop leadership by providing frameworks for the individual and school to evaluate it; establish a framework for learning skills, behaviors, and opportunities to promote leadership development; and set up the architecture for identifying talent, recording talent development, and outlining future needs, with case studies of approaches in a primary and secondary school. They describe what successful practices looks like, with case examples; how a school can become an employer of choice; and whether schools can develop their own talent systems or whether they need partnerships.
