HTI is a social enterprise dedicated to enhancing school leadership and is the UK's leading broker of professional development opportunities through education-business exchange. CCG is delighted to be working with HIT and the Adams School.

Leading Learners, Leading Schools

The following link has a review of my book on school leadership and complex adaptive systems.
http://www.lib.msu.edu/corby/reviews/posted/brooke.htm. The core message can perhaps be summed up in the following quote:

‘Perhaps treating [schools] like machines keeps them from changing, or makes changing them much more difficult. We keep bringing in mechanics, when what we need are gardeners. We keep trying to drive change, when what we need to do is cultivate change’. Peter Senge, from the May 1999 issue of Fast Company.
