Abstract

This article explores how school leadership can effectively respond to the challenges of the Anthropocene—an era defined by environmental and social crises. It presents four key pillars for fostering intelligent, humane leadership, underpinned by pragmatist philosophy combined with Raworth’s doughnut model. These are: bridging ideologies, shared agency, context relevance and intelligent and shared accountability. We invite further thinking and reflection on these pillars and their application.
