“The book provided me with evidence from different parts of the globe and highlighted universal vs. particular views of school leadership. … I had a feeling that many of the topics raised by the author are well-documented in the scholarship of educational administration and leadership.” (Izhar Oplatka, Educational Review, Vol. 71 (5), 2019)“There is a strong sense that this book includes ‘other voices’. That is voices from outside the developed English speaking world. It will be of particular relevance to students, scholars and policymakers interested in international or comparative studies in educational leadership and management. … There are few books that inspire an intense cover-to-cover read: the layout, organisation, global focus and generous inclusion of ‘other voices’ make this text one of them.” (Azumah Dennis, Management in Education, October, 2018)
