    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    At a time of unprecedented challenge in education, with a crisis in retention and staff wellbeing, the need for a new approach to school leadership could hardly be clearer. This book shows how compassionate practice can empower leaders to transform our schools into truly human organisations, creating cultures of connection and candour in which communities can thrive. 


    Drawing on the author’s 20 years’ experience as a senior school leader, this hands-on guide explores the real-life challenges of running a school and offers a fresh perspective on approaches to leadership tasks, emphasising collaboration and kindness. Written in an approachable and engaging style and informed by relevant research, Compassionate Leadership in Education synthesises evidence and experience, offering examples and encouragement in self-contained chapters that address the key components of leading with compassion.


    From building motivated teams to handling the toughest situations, this guide for school leaders explores practical ways to develop the architecture of compassion within your school, leading with courage and kindness – and looking after yourself in the process.
