Social Leadership in Early Childhood Education and Care

"Organisations in early childhood education and care (ECEC) face major organisational challenges, including staff recruitment, retention and wellbeing, in the context of sectoral fragmentation and under-investment. Social leadership is a new model that addresses these challenges by refocusing leadership through a much stronger social justice lens and highlighting the significance of warm and inclusive leadership to drive positive change. Based on interviews with renowned global leaders in ECEC, this book provides an introduction to the six-element model of social leadership and shows how it can be developed and implemented by organisations, training bodies and educational institutions." -- Back cover.
