In this episode, we speak with Professor Jim Spillane. Jim’s work on educational leadership and policy has had a profound influence on of research, policy, and practice. It was a privilege to speak to Jim about his developing insights on distributed leadership, which we are currently researching within the Irish context, as well as an insider’s perspective on his new book, with co-author Rebecca Lowenhaupt, entitled “Navigating the Principalship: : Key Insights for New and Aspiring School Leaders”. This book is a must-read for any newly appointed or aspiring school leader as it speaks to many of the dilemmas that you will likely face in a practical and insightful manner. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
