A-Z of Writing
Writer John Simmons’ gift to Invisible Grail readers
“For writing to be effective it needs to be human, to connect us as humans. This is a time when we all need to be more aware of the potential of words – and to use them with greater joy”
In 2020, John Simmons wrote a series of chapters based on his book The Invisible Grail from which the spirit of Invisible Grail is descended. Starting with an introduction, each chapter takes the next step along the alphabet and in the process gifts ideas that will help you find the words to motivate, inspire and engage people reading your writing.

Engaging Leaders: The challenge of inspiring collective commitment in universities
Paul Gentle
Addressing the question of how leadership can work most successfully in universities, Engaging Leaders strengthens the sense of shared professional knowledge and capability amongst leaders in higher education. Presenting a narrative of change which not only spells out why universities need to work differently, this book also takes the reader through clear practical steps which any practising leader can take in order to build a collaborative professional culture which supports and challenges all members of an academic community.
Engaging Leaders is for those who see themselves as leaders in higher education, whether or not this is recognised in their job title. It provides stimulating perspectives on what they might do to become more engaged and engaging, and includes examples of inspiring practice which is already making a difference in universities, colleges and new private providers. It will be of value to established managers as well as those new in post, and also for those participating in postgraduate programmes.
