Leadership in schools goes far beyond titles, as Executive Assistants (EAs) prove every day.

Working behind the scenes, EAs straddle multiple departments and functions while creating an environment in which staff and students can thrive. Few people fully understand the challenges, complexities, and rewards of their work.

In The Leadership Edge, Kristine Niven draws on her extensive experience as an EA - and founder of EAs in Education - to offer insight into a role that is often marked by ambiguity in schools and the wider EA community. This book provides practical tips, strategies, and approaches to help EAs develop their personal and professional practice, while offering a fresh perspective on leadership that goes beyond hierarchies and salary brackets.

Drawing together hard-won lessons from Niven's personal journey and insights from leaders, thinkers, philosophers, and artists, this book provides EAs with a clear roadmap for developing their own leadership edge.
