    Panorama del liderazgo en escualas de alta complejidad (Panorama of leadership in high complexity schools),
    Gurr, D ; Weinstein, J ; Munoz, G (Ediciones Universidad Diego Portales, 2019)
    Within the edited book there is a wide selection of ideas about leadership of schools in challenging circumstances and this chapter is designed to complement these by exploring ideas and research that I have found useful in thinking about this. After a short statement on the importance of leadership, the idea of challenging circumstances is explored by considering an example of how one country has constructed a measure of educational advantage that helps to locate schools on the challenging/advantaged continuum. Following this, studies from several countries that provide insights relevant to this important leadership area explored and an example of a principal successfully leading a school in a challenging context is provided. The conclusion provides eight summary statements in regard to leadership in challenging contexts that is likely to lead to school success.
