Abstract
The further education (FE) and skills sector faces a distinctive set of challenges. Its diverse organisational nature, as well as the need to respond to the policy imperatives and practices of the public and private sectors, each with different expectations and practices makes effective leadership in this sector critical. The challenges of future, tight central funding constraints and an expectation that employers will fund ‘skills training’, as well as an increasingly complex global and national environment require new ways of addressing the challenges. This review seeks to provoke discussion and open dialogue about new ways to lead thinking and to help leaders at all levels in the sector. This Literature Review is part of a development partnership between the Further Education Trust for Leadership (FETL), an independent Think Tank and UCL Institute of Education is designed to contribute to the re-engineering of leadership perspectives and aspirations in the FE and skills sector, by drawing together the knowledge and expertise of each organisation in ways that will promote growth in thinking and innovation and excellence in practice. This review is one of a series of tasks designed to support FETL activities, widen and deepen the knowledge base about the challenges facing the sector and maximise knowledge sharing. It is intended to contribute to a broader understanding of the nature of the leadership challenges facing the FE and skills sector and, specifically, to identify new directions for leading thinking and innovation.
