Abstract

This chapter is quite different from its predecessors: it is a practical guide, which may be used by school leaders who seek to improve their schools by implementing the Holistic School Leadership approach. The principles of action provided in this chapter are organized according to the four characteristics of Holistic School Leadership: leading wholes, adopting a multidimensional view, influencing indirectly, and evaluating significance. This chapter ends with principles of action related to the two aspects of Holistic School Leadership acquisition—its sources and its development over school leaders’ professional path.
