"Well there is no leader as such - we all just get on with it!" · What is leadership? · Why is leadership all about the children in our settings rather than the adults? · What do leaders need to do to ensure really good practice in their teams? · And why leading is not the same as doing. The Big Busker's Guide to Leadership looks at the role of the leader in providing really great services for children in their settings. It focuses on the need for leaders to be clear about what it is that their setting should achieve for the children who go there and how to communicate this to the rest of their teams. It emphasises the need for leaders to be able to influence the practice of others in their settings and looks at some of the skills that leaders need to achieve this.
