Abstract

This paper is a preliminary report of initial findings from research work carried out over the past year. The research explores, through biographic interviews, the experiences of head teachers in relation to leadership in education in times of organisational change. Schools are very much part of, and a product of, a changing fabric in society. Although this research is primarily based on the experience of head teachers it has, I believe, a wider relevance to management and professional practice within other contemporary public sector organisations.
