COGNITIVE-EXPERIENTIAL SELF-THEORY AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

VDM Verlag, 2010

Dr Tom Cerni’s book explores the connection between information processing and leadership styles in school principals, integrating Epstein’s Cognitive-Experiential Theory with Bass and Avolio’s Full-Range Leadership Theory. Through five studies, Tom’s book provides empirical support for a CEST-transformational leadership model. This text is pioneering in applying these theories to educational leadership and is a valuable resource for anyone involved in transformational leadership development.

Key insights include:

  • The positive connections between information-processing, transformational leadership, and conflict-handling styles.
  • Implications for improving educational leadership and its impact on teachers’ job satisfaction and students’ learning outcomes.
