- More about The Educational Leader in a World of Covert Threats: Creating Multi-Level Sustainability
Educational leaders must adapt to meet the threats to sustainability, such as wicked problems, positive feedback, exponential growth, inappropriate degrees of connectivity, and tipping points. This requires a re-think of the educational leader's role and recognition of these threats in the cultural zeitgeist of societies.

In a rapidly evolving world characterized by significant environmental, societal, institutional, and human sustainability challenges, educational leaders must confront a crucial question: what are these threats, and how must the role of educational leaders adapt to meet them throughout this century? To address this pressing concern, Mike Bottery delves into the examination of key terms within the field, exploring their usage, misuse, and misinterpretation. He then focuses on five covert threats that pose significant challenges to sustainability: wicked problems, positive feedback, exponential growth, inappropriate degrees of connectivity, and tipping points. By examining the impact of these threats on sustainability at various levels, from micro to macro, Bottery argues that understanding and addressing these threats necessitates a transformative shift in the thought, values, and practices of educational leaders.
Furthermore, he suggests that this awareness should not only redefine the focus of educational institutions but also the scrutiny they receive from external inspectors. Such recognition must become an integral part of the cultural zeitgeist of contemporary societies if future generations are to inherit a sustainable world. In this regard, The Educational Leader in a World of Covert Threats offers a groundbreaking, timely, and indispensable re-examination of the educational leader's role, making it a unique contribution to the literature on educational leadership.
