The need for restructuring and transforming business practices for the benefit of humanity and the environment is a major theme of this book. Interactivity and connectedness of people and things/data is transforming everything. Many organizations, even the traditional ones, have entered a process of transformation through innovation and rethinking their business models, which affects the way leaders communicate, lead, and co-create. Brilliant leadership is a new intellectual framework to guide strategists, gamechangers, senior executives, and aspiring leaders. This new framework is based on our current work on leadership development and focuses on what it means to become a brilliant leader. Brilliant leaders have an authentic personality, the willingness to engage people/teams, inspire others, facilitate (co-)innovation, and commit to making significant contributions (humanity, environment, ethics), and be relevant. The framework is also consistent with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education, fostering innovation, and developing a lifelong learning mindset. Each chapter of the book is more than a collection of ideas. It is a part of the new intellectual framework that describes ‘Brilliant Leadership’. Each chapter includes a distinct contribution by experts and that at the same time is connected to other chapters through the book’s organizing schema, paralleling how the different facets of leadership are inseparable from one another. Together, the chapters present a holistic view of what it means to become a brilliant leader in the transformative digital age. The framework demonstrates this connectivity through a theoretical framework (our model) and a plan (book chapters) of how to approach the specific research inquiry, the tenets of brilliant leadership. What makes this new edition unique? The book is aimed at providing practical strategies and becoming a source of inspiration for what it means to have a new leadership mindset - a brilliant leader who understands how to communicate with empathy and authenticity, engage and inspire others, shift responsibility into shared-commitment, and spark learning in a purpose-driven innovation culture.

Whether you're already leading or you have it on your radar, this book's for you. Don't expect a textbook full of highfalutin theories though, this book is rammed full of practical ideas that you can use instantly to help you in your current role or to get the position you want. How do you create a brilliant team? What is needed to establish an awesome ethos? How do you do those difficult personnel things? How do you make an impact? Answers to all of these questions and more are based on the combined 100 plus years of the authors' leadership experience in a wide range of educational settings. You'll find a cornucopia of pick and mix tips, strategies and stuff that really works and will make your leadership brilliant! Leadership doesn't come from formulae or from the latest list of government standards. Neither does it come from the school handbook or a 'values' poster in the staffroom. If you pick up 100 different leadership books you'll find 100 different nuanced definitions. Fundamentally, brilliant leadership is inspiring people to go the extra mile. There's a difference between 'outstanding' and 'brilliant'. Brilliant is self-made, inside out, creative and beyond the bounds of any simple description. Brilliance is a calling and brilliant practitioners go well beyond the call of duty. Middle leaders are the backbone of any school. At their best they challenge, manage, plan, develop and inspire colleagues to make learning brilliant for kids. Middle leadership covers a broad spectrum of roles and titles: curriculum leader, pastoral leader, key stage coordinator, subject coordinator, head of department, school leader, head of year, school leadership, head of house, head of faculty, subject leader. This book is aimed at anyone in middle leadership, regardless of job title, whether long in the tooth, new to leadership or wanting to get into it. Dip into this book and you'll find a wide range of tools, strategies, advice and top tips to help you be your brilliant best. Gary, Chris and Andy cover the myriad of issues facing middle leaders with their customary mix of good humour and solid, experience-informed advice. Topics covered include: starting a new role; whether in a new school or following internal promotion, what your colleagues and the kids will expect of you, identifying personal strengths and areas for further development, shifting your focus from your to-do list to your to-be list, having an impact, building rapport and a team ethos, planting seeds of positivity across the school, tips for holding effective meetings, how to plan improvement which works for your team and meets the expectations of senior leaders, planning, implementing and evaluating change, dealing with negative colleagues, overcoming issues and personnel problems, understanding and owning your thinking, celebrating successes, modelling and sharing best practice and developing a brilliant team. The Art of Being Brilliant series was a finalist in the 2017 Education Resources Awards in the Educational Book Award category.

Menjadi seorang pemimpin bukanlah peran yang ringan dan tidak semua orang mampu untuk melakukan dengan tuntas. Banyak hal yang berpengaruh kepada seorang pemimpin ketika ia menjalankan peran tersebut. Sering kali pengaruh-pengaruh yang merupakan penentu keberhasilan seorang pemimpin tidak hanya berasal dari satu faktorÑbanyak faktor yang berkontribusi. Oleh karena itu, seorang pemimpin harus selalu siap dan mengantisipasi berbagai hal yang akan muncul. Tidaklah berlebihan jika dikatakan seorang pemimpin harus peka terhadap segala sesuatu yang dapat memengaruhi kepemimpinannya. Tidaklah berlebihan pula apabila dikatakan bahwa kemampuan seorang pemimpin harus dimulai dari pengelolaan terhadap dirinya sendiri terlebih dulu. Keberhasilan pengelolaan diri akan mendasari kekuatan dan kemampuan dalam mengelola orang lain dan pekerjaan. Buku ini lebih banyak mengajak kita berani bercermin, apakah selama ini pengaruh-pengaruh yang kita miliki sudah berdampak pada diri sendiri, orang lain, dan lingkungan kita. What It Takes to be an Excellent Leader tidak akan berbicara tentang hal-hal yang luar biasa. Isinya SANGAT BIASA dan menjadi bagian dari hidup kita sehari-hari. Justru tantangannya adalah, bagaimana buku ini di tangan kita akan berdampak LUAR BIASA. Tentu saja, semua itu bergantung pada KOMITMEN kita dalam mengimplementasikannya. Buku ini tidak akan menjadikan kita sebagai pemimpin yang sempurna, tetapi minimal kita menyadari bagaimana proses menjadi pemimpin yang dirasakan dampaknya. What It Takes to be an Excellent Leader merupakan karya ke-17 yang telah ditulis oleh penulis dan buku ke-4 yang berbicara tentang leadership. Tiga buku leadership lainnya adalah WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A LEADER PLUS, THE LEADER IN YOU, PARENTING With LEADERSHIP, yang semuanya diterbitkan oleh Penerbit Elex Media Komputindo.
