Cognition, Complexity and Collaboration in Schools
Publication date July 26, 2023
In Leading with the Social Brain in Mind, Joanne explores how relationships and leadership work together in school education. Specifically, it exhorts system and school leaders to investigate how social brain theory affects the unintended results of their own complex organisational environments.
It takes a lot of skill to lead collaboration in a school, especially in ones where many institutional practices and structures are so widely accepted that they are rarely questioned. Schools are complex organisations where systems of self awareness allow leaders to recognise and map their context to derive the distinct information, experience and abilities needed in their school.
Therefore, this book is recommended for readers who want to understand the relationships between school leadership, complex organisations and collaboration.
