He looks at the impact these threats have upon sustainability at micro-, meso-, and macro- levels, and how understanding and meeting these threats needs to change the educational leader's thought, values, and practice. Bottery argues that such awareness should not only change the focus of educational institutions, but also the focus of those inspecting such institutions.  Such recognition then needs to become part of the cultural zeitgeist of present-day societies if future generations are to inherit a sustainable world. In so doing, \u003ci\u003eThe Educational Leader in a World of Covert Threats\u003c\/i\u003e provides an original, timely and essential re-think of the educational leader's role which makes it unique in the educational leadership literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMike Bottery\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Hull, UK.
