Stephen Tierney is Executive Director of the Blessed Edward Bamber Catholic Multi Academy Trust, a trust containing three academies in Blackpool. He acts as the Course Leader for the SSAT's Aspiring Senior Leaders Programme and Co-chair of their Vision 2040 Group. As a professional partner, strategic partner in the Fylde Coast Teaching School Alliance and previously a NPQH Development School I have engaged and supported headteachers, senior and middle leaders - learning with them and from them. Prior to headship I was Deputy Headteacher at Our Lady's Catholic High School, Lancaster and Head of Science at De La Salle in St. Helen's.
Stephen Tierney has spent thirty years working in schools, twenty nine of those in different leadership positions. In Liminal Leadership, he suggests that the education system is currently at a threshold; and it may be one in which the teaching profession is diminished or augmented. Using an honest and personal account of Stephen's own journey as a framework, Liminal Leadership empowers current and prospective school leaders at all levels to scrutinise, polish and advance their skills to build enriching, aspirational and ultimately fulfilling cultures within which to work.
