"Few today have broader and deeper insights than Michael Fullan in helping to develop leadership amidst the cross currents of today’s school environments. Two of Fullan’s timely insights in Indelible Leadership—Students themselves are the hidden agents for deep change, and the real leadership capabilities needed today can be learned."

Author(s)

Michael Fullan

Michael Fullan served as Premier Dalton McGuinty’s Special Policy Adviser in Ontario from 2003-2013. He received the Order of Canada (OC) in December 2012 and holds five honorary doctorates from universities around the world. His ‘interim autobiography’, Surreal Change, covers his work to 2018. Michael and his colleagues are now working diligently on field-based comprehensive system change in several countries. This work operates under the umbrella of what they call the ‘shared humanity paradigm’ —Equity, Engagement, Excellence--Deep change that integrates local (school and community), middle (district/regional), and state (policy) entities.

Fullan’s favorite method of learning is to partner with groups that are engaged with change; and to learn together with them. (And then to write another book about the experiences, and what was learned).

Michael Fullan’s latest books are: Nuance (2019), Spirit Work and the Science of Collaboration (with Mark Edwards, 2022), The Principal 2.0 (2023), and The Drivers (with Joanne Quinn, 2023).

Reviews

"Few today have broader and deeper insights than Michael Fullan in helping to develop leadership amidst the cross currents of today’s school environments. Students themselves are the hidden agents for deep change, and the real leadership capabilities needed today can be learned are just two of Fullan’s timely insights in Indelible Leadership."

“Indelible Leadership challenges and guides leaders to help students and teachers learn deeply. Fullan has shown why new leadership is crucial for our times, and more significantly reveals what it looks like in practice. Read it and take your leadership to a deeper level!”

Laura Schwalm, Senior Partner
California Education Partners

“The reach of Michael Fullan’s ideas has no limits. He sets out how leaders can forge a path of lasting improvement. As usual he identifies a critical issue that we should have known—every leader leaves at some point and if too much depends on him the chances for continuity are seriously compromised. Learn how to make a deep impact today in a way that leaves a growing legacy for tomorrow.”

Avis Glaze
Educ-Quest International

"Indelible Leadership is quite simply fantastic! Fullan’s book offers an exceptional framework for action in our complex times. It provides tools, lots of gems and surprising insights, and thought provoking challenges. I found myself immediately putting these ideas into practice. As a long time consultant on transformational leadership Fullan has already ‘left this reader learning’."
