It is about Steve's journey, covering his highs and lows and, ultimately, how he learned to refine and improve his leadership.

These speeches, delivered at the Seizing Success and Inspiring Leadership conferences, form the structure around which Steve's story and insights are wrapped.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Steve's account covers some fundamental shifts in the English education system over this 12-year period and describes how school leaders altered their leadership as this context changed. Furthermore, it delves into how his own leadership developed as his personal context changed, and explores how the notion that a leader needs to be good at all aspects of leadership is not only unrealistic, but is also bad for the mental and physical health of leaders and will do nothing to attract new people into leadership positions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Ultimately, Steve hopes that as you read this book you will see the value of imperfect leadership and of the positive impact it can make. For those reading it who have yet to step up into leadership, his sincere wish is that it will encourage and empower aspirational leaders rather than discourage them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Suitable for all those in or aspiring to leadership positions in education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Imperfect Leadership Steve Munby eloquently reflects upon and describes a leadership approach that is strong on self-awareness and positive about the importance of asking for help. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e When asked to describe his own leadership style, Steve Munby \"€\" former chief executive of the National College for School Leadership \"€\" uses the word 'imperfect'.
