The purpose of this research is to explore how transformational leadership impacts organizational performance. We posit that transformational leadership is a significant indicator of organizational ...performance. This article suggests that executives who act as transformational leaders affect organizational outcomes. In particular, this article raises a vital question as to how managers can successfully contribute to performance at the organizational level. It highlights the potential consequences of applying transformational leadership.
School middle leadership is a complex and increasingly important school leadership position, with research showing the significance of middle leadership to school improvement and teacher development. ...The purpose of this article is to
identify and analyse empirical peer reviewed articles on middle leadership from 2006 to 2020, to understand how middle leaders are defined, the responsibilities they hold, the impact and professional development they are afforded, and to
discover lacunae in studies to support further research. The review was conducted using Scopus and ERIC; a total of 35 articles across 14 countries were selected. Using Nvivo, narrative synthesis was utilised to analyse the articles
resulting in four conclusions: 1) middle leadership is difficult to define; 2) middle leadership positions and responsibilities vary considerably and are best understood in context; 3) middle leaders directly and indirectly impact
teacher practice, team development, school reform and professional learning, although there is limited direct research into their impact; and 4) middle leadership professional learning has not progressed to the point to adequately equip
middle leaders for the complexity of their positions. The article highlights two distinguishable differences to separate teachers and middle leaders, and provides an operational definition, elaborated description and set of middle
leadership characteristics to guide future research and policy advancement. Author abstract

With the support of 292 generous donors, the TMS Foundation did not waver in answering the call to provide financial assistance, valuable recognition, and leadership opportunities. Those 292 donors ...raised a total of $172,308. During the 2020 year-end appeal campaign alone, which ran from mid-October through the end of December, a total of $105,915 was raised to ensure the strength of our profession now and in the future. Here, the TMS Foundation's financial performance is presented.
In studying public leadership we are interested in the use of the voice to motivate, inspire, and organise public action. The focus is the leadership that stimulates co-ordinated response to the ...problems that the public accepts. Public leadership pulls a group of people (a society) together and co-ordinates their response to their world. This book presents topical research in the study of public leadership, including police organisation and leadership; brand leadership in a public sector context; leadership compensation in subsidiaries; exploring the public leadership performance of faith-based healthcare organisation; and educational leadership.
In social prescribing, people are referred by primary-care professionals to non-medical, community-based activities. The transfer between primary care and the community-based provider can be ...difficult, with low uptake and poor engagement with and adherence to interventions. There is an ambition to increase the use of social prescribing in the UK health service; however, to achieve this ambition the process of referral and retention needs improving. This study aimed to increase our understanding of what works and why in the social prescribing process and to apply this knowledge in primary-care settings where the use of the approach is being developed.
In a realist review of literature considering the process of social prescribing, bibliographic and grey literature searches were used to locate evidence. The relevance of the evidence was assessed and then used to develop theory. Findings were contextualised through focus groups in the partner primary-care setting.
Bibliographic and grey literature searches identified a total of 253 primary sources, and data were fully extracted from the most conceptually rich (n=109). Overarching programme theory integrating 40 active elements of the social prescribing process was developed through synthesis of the primary literature. This list was then refined through expert prioritisation leading to targeted searches conducted on key elements of the process relating to enrolment in, engagement with, and adherence to social prescribing. Key contexts and mechanisms contributing to successful uptake and enrolment included patient beliefs about suitable treatment options, presentation of the intervention and social prescribing process, accessibility of social prescribing (physically and psychologically), and supported uptake (eg, a link worker). Skilful and flexible intervention leadership and a change in the patient's condition were key contexts or mechanisms in maintaining adherence.
Use of a realist approach, with findings iteratively refined and applied in a primary-care setting, has facilitated a better understanding of what works in the social prescribing process. However, despite increasing interest in the approach, there is a paucity of information in the current evidence base about how social prescribing interventions are developed, offered, and delivered. Therefore, future social prescribing interventions should integrate process evaluations.

In 2008, the authors published an article in this journal entitled "Seven Strong Claims about Successful School Leadership" (Leithwood, Harris, and Hopkins 2008). The article was based on a major ...literature review that was summarised in a paper published by the National College for School Leadership in England. Both the National College paper and their subsequent article proved to be far more popular than they anticipated and both have been extensively cited over the past 10 years. This article revisits each of the seven claims, summarising what was said about each in the original publications, weighing each of the claims considering recent empirical evidence, and proposing revisions or refinements as warranted.
