Leadership: An Islamic Perspective

Enthusiastic readers, notably those who have special interest in thinking and cognition, are expected to know a great deal on creativity both as a skill and as a discipline. However, rare are those who have thoughts on what a religion like Islam has to say about it. Many vital fields of studies seem to have been alienated from religious principles and values, as if religion distrupts the smoth and triumphant march of human knowledge. This book presents a humble argument for the worth of Islamic principles and values in the domain of thinking and creativity. Though this work is an introductory textbook devised for teaching purposes, it hopes to meet the expectations of those who seek detailed and informative account of the subject.

This book contains ten chapters beginning with the theoretical foundation of strategic leadership in education. Entails to this, it is followed by nine more chapters (Strategic orientation, Strategic translation, Strategic alignment, Strategic intervention, Strategic competence, Restlessness, Absorptive capacity, Adaptive capacity and Wisdom) where each and every following chapters is representing the construct and variables which form the theoretical foundation and theoretical framework as been explained in the first chapter. This book is beneficial for postgraduate students who are specializing in Educational Management and Leadership.
