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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 568g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 241 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350160521\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professor MikeBottery","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094405345530,"sku":"9781350160521","price":110.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662125302799_book.jpg?v=1662215232","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-educational-leader-in-a-world-of-covert-threats-creating-multilevel-sustainability-9781350160521","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
