PARRA, JUAN DAVID. Systems thinking; a path to leadership and educational change. Zona prox. [online]. 2021, n.35, pp.157-164.  Epub May 05, 2022. ISSN 2145-9444.  https://doi.org/10.14482/zp.35.371.334.

This article critically reviews Haim Shaked y Chen Schechter's book, Systems Thinking for School Leaders. Holistic Leadership for Excellence in Education. This work, published in 2017, introduces a novel overview of school leadership inspired by the paradigm of Systems Thinking. Rather than presenting a prescriptive type of analysis, the authors invite readers to rethink school directors' role as part of a complex and adaptative system. The reflection on the book's contents and sections is complemented with some critical notes about current school management practices and challenges in a country like Colombia.

Keywords : Systems thinking; School Leadership; Holistic Leadership; School Management.
