This book has been 20+ years in the making by a school and college chair, governor, trustee, member, and consultant, this short, easily-read book is not about rules or procedures. Instead, it focuses on the attributes of a great GoaT – and how they function across the key theatres of governance, illustrated by examples drawn from personal experience.
How to be a great GoaT helps experienced GoaTs improve, and new ones understand the scope of the role, so that all enjoy a rich and rewarding experience while adding real value to our schools and colleges.
