This volume investigates the intersection of aesthetic theory and educational administration to determine how artistic and philosophical frameworks can inform leadership practice. Editors Richard J. Bates and Eugenie A. Samier compile contributions from various scholars to challenge the dominance of purely rationalistic or bureaucratic models in school management. By drawing on historical, literary, and philosophical traditions, the text argues for a more nuanced, imaginative approach to the role of the educational leader.
