Book Review: Educational Leadership and Hannah Arendt

Abstract

Introduction: Perhaps the best way to encourage academics to read this book is to examine the following quote.  Arendt asks humans to think about the relationship threads of what "I" and "we" are doing: the failure to recognize natality and pluralism, particularly evident in the mediocracy and 'what works' prescriptions. "I" and "we" cannot be spontaneous and do new things while "I" and "we" are filling in forms and working out how to handle the next inspection visit (105).
