Educational Leadership and Asian Culture : Culturally Sensitive Leadership Practice EPUB

Providing a window on educational leadership from an Asian cultural perspective, Liu and Thien's edited collection describes how educational leadership is linked with national culture in the context of different Asian countries.

While much of the scholarship on this topic has been built on Western paradigms, this book examines the measurement of school leadership from a diverse lens by taking cultural context into account while examining educational leadership. Drawing on cross-cultural perspectives, the authors investigate the relationship between leadership for learning and societal culture, in addition to the relationship between leadership style and culture. The text provides a theoretical basis for understanding leadership in the context of Asian countries, and offers practical suggestions for identifying effective, and culturally sensitive leadership practices in similar cultural contexts.

An excellent resource for graduate students, researchers in comparative education, educational practitioners looking to improve their education practices, and anyone interested in cultural leadership practices.
