Description

In an increasingly frenetic world too many leaders have lost sight of the simple yet profound wisdom associated with practical action, otherwise known as phronesis.

Phronesis is an ancient Greek word associated with good judgement and good character.

At its core, it is about the ability to discern how best to act.

Practical wisdom involves acting thoughtfully and virtuously and encouraging others to do the same.

Stephen Tierney describes virtue, thought and action – which coalesce in effective leadership – as the Way of Being, Way of Knowing and Way of Doing.

Each of the three Ways consist of a number of elements termed the Basics.

The Ways of Being: Purpose & Introspection The Ways of Knowing: Specialism & Strategy The Ways of Doing: Implementation, Networking, Guardianship & Expertise Structuring the book around these eight Basics, readers will be challenged and supported to explore each of the Basics from a theoretical perspective and then provided with real world examples of how they were applied by Stephen in his own career in educational leadership.

In writing Leadership: Being, Knowing, Doing, Stephen seeks to help leaders explore their own capabilities and potential.

Leadership can be learnt. The three Ways with their constituent Basics represent a mirror to help leaders reflect upon and improve their practice.

In turn, current leaders are called upon to accept the responsibility to grow the leaders of the future.
