To date there has been no robust evaluative study in the UK policing context of the effectiveness of particular leadership styles or of leadership development programmes. This research evaluates a Hampshire Constabulary leadership development programme for middle managers, namely police Sergeants, and studies the broader aspects of leadership development at this middle management level, focusing on the knowledge, understanding and skills required to apply l

This action research study examines the problems of a middle manager in a school, managing teams to deliver an operational project with little formal authority.

The management focus was on the micro-management of staff to influence performance and improve practice, including the performance of the practitioner-researcher. The study is set using a paradi

This thesis investigates the contribution of management and leadership development (MLD) for middle managers.

The thesis builds on organisational contingency theory (Mintzberg 1979) to develop and test a model of changes to middle management roles and associated outcomes of MLD.

Abstract:

<p> Middle managers in the 21st century are asked to adopt a new paradigm aimed at leveraging interpersonal relationships. These skills, generally labeled <i> soft skills,</i> include intrapersonal and interpersonal abilities. Most senior leaders recognize the need for soft skills but many continue to devalue them. Women often are perceived as having stronger soft skills than men, and may be penalized because of that perception. Transformational leadership provides the theoretical foundation for the study. The construct of emotional intelligence (EI) encompasses soft skills. There are disagree

Abstract:

Byggsektorn står för en stor del av landets bruttonationalprodukt dock finns det indikationer som påvisar att denna sektor lider av effektivitetsproblem i form av höga byggkostnader och bristande innovation och nytänkande. Till följd av stigande byggkostnader och en stagnerande produktivitetsutvecklingen i branschen finns det ett behov av ett effektivare byggande. Det innebär att produktionsprocessen behöver kunna fortgå utan friktion och för att möjliggöra detta krävs det att det sker en optimering samt förkortning av ledtiderna i samtliga led av produktionskedjan.

Abstract:

<p> Children living in poverty in the United States face some of life’s greatest challenges, including achieving academic success in school. Evidence is also emerging of a growing income disparity in America that affects families, communities and local labor markets in ways that can undermine the effectiveness of schools serving disadvantaged populations (Duncan & Murnane, 2011). Evidence exists, however, that high academic performance is within the reach of all children in high poverty schools, and that principal leadership is a contributing factor. </p><p> This study examined pri

Abstract:

Over the past two decades, pressure to both reform public education and provide educational choices for families has led to the creation of charter schools. Charter schools are based on the premise of operational autonomy in exchange for accountability for agreed upon results. Their appeal is widespread, with over 2,000 charter schools opening in the United States since 1990. The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive study is to describe the process of initiating a charter school. Eight key informants representing five Oregon charter schools were included in the study. These key informants

Abstract:

<p> Recently, a great deal of interest has been generated around the role of principal and its effectiveness, especially its impact on improving teacher instruction and student learning. Waters, Marzano, and McNulty (2003) concluded that one quarter of all “school effects” on achievement can be attributed to principals. While there is general agreement on the principal’s importance and affect, do we understand how principals have adapted to changes in schools with reduced resources and increased learning needs of students? How have principals made decisions in an environment

Abstract:

A major criterion for evaluating a society is how it treats its citizens with special needs -- especially children. Since 1988 all mainstream schools in Israel are obligated by law to include children with special needs and provide them with all the aid they are entitled to -- within a mainstream environment. All the involved bodies (governmental, educational, municipal, legal, parental, etc.) have sought the best way to this. Stemming from human rights- it was obvious that this law was right -- but in the absence of field experience, most conclusions have been the result of trial and error in

Abstract:

This dissertation presents an intervention-based study that aimed to enable teachers to improve teaching and learning in one school in Ramallah, Palestine. The non-positional approach to teacher leadership was adopted as a means to mobilise all teachers in the drive towards bottom-up, participatory school change processes that increase teacher self-efficacy and collaboration, build professional capacity and social capital, and promote sustainability. The Teachers Leading the Way programme provided a contextually tailored strategy, and set of instruments and tools that through reflective exerci
