Produktbeschreibung
The notion of leadership has been investigated and writtenabout for over a century yet definitions continue to becontentious. A wide range of theories have emerged to capture theintent and nature of leadership activity and these have beensupplemented by numerous populist publications attempting to makeleadership accessible to the public. This book explores how peopleworking in the field of early childhood education and care (ECEC)in Australia, understand leadership and see it enacted in their dayto day work. Participants articulate notions of team work or nonpositional leadership that they view are congruent with the nonhierarchical and nurturing environment of ECEC. However whatemerges is a culture defined by aspects of niceness juxtaposed withelements of horizontal violence. This analysis highlights the needfor working with early childhood students and practitioners toexplore the cultural aspects that can impact their interpretedprofessional identity. This publication should beuseful for anyoneworking to understand the complexities of leadership andcontemplating the many factors that continue to make leadership sochallenging.
