Abstract: One of the reasons that many leaders feel disenfranchised from the whole process of leading anymore, is that their essence as leaders is not echoed in the organizations that they lead. They are reduced to being technocrats. Issues of social justice and equity are not central to leadership professional development and practices. These issues are still largely omitted despite the canon of equality legislations that places statutory duties on public authorities including education providers. In the current situation, a narrow set of leadership paradigms for increasingly diverse backgrounds is not sustainable. Promoting leaders in global education and schooling for equity and social justice is a very pressing issue, more than ever before. John P. Portelli and Rosemary Campbell-Stephens take up the challenge of not only demystifying the content and process of current leadership development programmes but to question the underlying principles and the extent to which they engage with the terrain that so many diverse educational leaders have to navigate themselves through.
