Dr. Nehama Nadav

"My name is Nechama Nadav.

I have a PhD from the Faculty of Education at Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel. Former PhD student of Leadership, Organizational Development and Policy program, Faculty of Education in Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel.

My PhD focused on examining principals' systems thinking as perceived by school management teams and the resulting outcomes for teachers and schools. This research allows to understand the effects of the principals' systems thinking on school effectiveness at in variant aspects and at the different level of analysis.

The research provides insights and points to mechanisms and practical leadership tools for school principals and policymakers in order to better deal with the complexity that exists in the school and lead to positive school outcomes."
