| Zusammenfassung: | Most universities identify leadership of the education agenda as a key priority for their institute. The challenge for many has become how best to drive and coordinate leadership of excellence in education, and how to translate theory and rhetoric into practice. Leading Excellence (which grew out of the initial 'Leadership for Implementing Improvements in the Learning and Teaching Quality Cycle' project) addressed this challenge by proposing, investigating, testing, reflecting upon and refining a leadership framework designed to facilitate change and improvement. The framework, referred to as the Engaging Leadership Framework (ELF), adopts an institution-wide perspective. It takes a high-level, strategic view of leadership yet at the same time provides a practical tool for analysis of evidence and subsequent implementation of improvement. This report describes for the reader the initial impetus for the Leading Excellence project - the issue of how best to assist those with leading roles in learning and teaching to link evidence (in this case student feedback) with improvement strategies and actions to facilitate excellence. It describes the development of the ELF and the action research approach which guided iterations of the framework. [Executive summary, ed]
