The inherent pressures of school leadership often encourage leaders to try and be “chameleons” or “all things to all people”. In the process, school leaders often suffer from leader identity confusion and are challenged to employ the correct type of leadership style to particular situations. Curbing the Chameleon Effect offers options to educational administrators and leaders, by identifying leadership models geared to addressing existing problems that require immediate attention. The book offers real-life examples of professional, cultural and personal situations that required distinctly unique solutions. Therein, readers are encouraged to extrapolate their own authentic leader styles amid a palette of offerings outlined in the chapters. The book’s coverage illustrates how people from various historical and cultural contexts successfully confronted challenging circumstances, and succeeded in overcoming substantial obstacles, by applying specific leadership approaches.
