This volume focuses on strategic leadership, the impact of external and internal factors on organizational leadership, and how effective educational leaders manage the competing demands of autonomy and accountability. The book deals with the challenges of managing the boundaries between educational organizations and their external contexts, and reconciling environmental expectations and internal priorities.

- political, social and ideological contexts
- governance and links with external stakeholders
- marketing
- organizational collaboration, competition, partnership
- external/internal culture,
and internal structures
- strategic leadership and managing change
