Still Approaching My Prime: An Autobiography tells the remarkable life story of Dr. Reynold Macpherson, who began life on a marginal New Zealand dairy farm.
The renowned researcher, teacher, and author attended teachers' training college, volunteered for part-time military service alongside his early teaching roles, visited Scotland and England to research his Anglo-Celtic roots, and served in the Black Watch and Parachute Regiment before starting an academic career.
This memoir clarifies the author's intellectual long march that helped advance theory and practice in educative leadership, which went on to win international recognition.
His contributions have led to policy reforms in educational administration internationally, as well as the turn-around of a polytechnic, the start-up of a university in the Middle East, post-conflict reconstruction in Timor-Leste, and a ten-year defense of democracy in the local government of Rotorua.
After all this, he is still approaching his prime. His next book will be titled Ethics and Educative Leadership.
(About the Author)
Reynold Macpherson completed his Ph.D. at Monash University, served as a Senior Lecturer at the University of New England, and was an Associate Professor at the University of Tasmania. He was Professor and Director of the Centre of Professional Development at the University of Auckland before serving as CEO of Waiariki Institute of Technology. He was then Foundational Chancellor, CEO, and Professor of Strategic Management at Abu Dhabi University. The author has held a range of international consultancies since retirement and has published 18 books and 72 research papers.
