Learn, develop, discover and be inspired with the support of the Leadership Library – a free, online resource where busy school leaders can access quick and practical resources to support their knowledge and skills development. The Leadership Library is a vast collection of world class leadership and management development resources, in a range of different media, from Harvard and Ashridge Business Schools, 50 Lessons, NCSL and Teachers TV.
Many of the speakers from our Annual Conference have material and related resources in the Leadership Library, which can be accessed below.

Devote Time To Finding Leaders, Gerry Robinson
One of the keys to success is finding people who can lead others. Leaders should devote serious time and energy to finding such people, as not doing so means the tasks these individuals could do will instead continue to fall into the current leaders' own remit - and, worse, that those promising individuals will go elsewhere.
The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey
Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust. The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust with all stakeholders is a critical leadership competency. Trust has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life, but it is the least understood, most neglected and most underestimated possibility of our time.
Inspirational Leadership by Richard Olivier
Shakespeare's play Henry V offers timeless insights into inspirational leadership, which can be learned by leaders and managers today. Richard Olivier's ideas on 'Mythodrama' combine theatre techniques and creative exercises to provide a safe environment in which participants can explore issues faced by the modern manager and work through their own leadership dilemmas.
