Recenzii

"Leading Holistically is a one of a kind book. It provides a set of examples of what leading systemically looks like across the three levels of systems. It gives us 'applied system thinking in action'. It sets as new standard for systems theory. Above all it invites new applied scholarship using the power of systems thinking to understand and take actions that affect whole systems for the better. It presents a new and powerful friend into the neighborhood. It makes system thinking that much more accessible."
From the Foreword by Michael Fullan, Global Leadership Director, New Pedagogies for Deep Learning
"It is high time that a book that presents research on systems theory to practice be published. We have books and articles that focus on practice at various levels of the larger educational system but there is no definitive book where the theory is used to guide and present research across the three levels of the education system—school, district, state/national. This book fills this gap."
— George White, Iacocca Professor of Education, Lehigh University
