      title = {Systems Thinking for School Leaders : Holistic Leadership  for Excellence in Education /},
      abstract = {This book presents a new approach to school leadership -  Holistic School Leadership, whereby school leaders lead  schools through systems-thinking concepts and procedures.  Facing growing complexity, change and diversity, school  leaders need to regularly apply the systems view and  perform at the systems level. This book proposes a holistic  approach, providing school leaders with systemic principles  of action for excellence in education. "What a wonderful  book - once I started it, I couldn't put it down. The book  masterfully makes a systems leadership perspective  accessible and grounded in the reality of the daily life of  educators. Holistic School Leadership is a "must read" for  anyone who has the responsibility for making schools better  places, from professors to emerging teacher leaders."Karen  Seashore (Louis), Regents Professor of Organizational  Leadership, Policy and Development, University of Minnesota  "Shaked and Schechter have constructed a much needed bridge  to the future of educational leadership, a future of  systemic thinking and positivity." Joseph Murphy, Professor  of Education and Public Policy, Peabody College of  Education, Vanderbilt University "Shaked and Schechter  offer a comprehensive yet concise account of the meaning of  systems thinking. The authors systematically develop their  Holistic School Leadership approach with compelling  examples, carefully attending to the perennial challenge of  implementation. Important reading for scholars and  practitioners of school leadership and management!"James P.  Spillane, Olin Professor in Learning and Organizational  Change, Northwestern University "This is the most important  book on systems thinking since Senge's (1990) seminal work  on learning organizations. Shaked and Schechter demonstrate  the critical and practical utility of systems thinking for  school leaders--a must read for all reflective  practitioners." Wayne K. Hoy, Professor Emeritus, The Ohio  State University.},
