The broad reality of change is impacting on every organization including schools. More than often in a process of change there will be an input of an enormous amount of human energy and physical resources that results in change that in effect does not lead to improvement.

The case study reported in this book substantiate the importance of the individual in a leadership role, acting and learning within a context, dealing with the reality of change that is part of the routine tasks of the organisation.This book argues that only attention to The individual will bring about long lasting change. People change and people change themselves organizations. The experience of this individual will resonate with leaders in organizations and provide insights into actions that bring about change in long standing, stable organizations.
