Holistic Leadership for Excellence in Education de Haim Shaked y Chen Schechter. Este trabajo, publicado en 2017, presenta una mirada novedosa del liderazgo escolar desde el paradigma del Pensamiento de Sistemas. Su contenido, más que ser prescriptivo, invita a replantear el papel de rectoras y rectores como actores de un sistema complejo y adaptativo. La reflexión sobre los contenidos y apartes del texto es complementada con apuntes sobre retos contemporáneos de la denominada gestión educativa en un país como Colombia.]]></p></abstract>

Holistic Leadership for Excellence in Education. This work, published in 2017, introduces a novel overview of school leadership inspired by the paradigm of Systems Thinking. Rather than presenting a prescriptive type of analysis, the authors invite readers to rethink school directors' role as part of a complex and adaptative system. The reflection on the book's contents and sections is complemented with some critical notes about current school management practices and challenges in a country like Colombia.]]></p></abstract>
