One of the youngest secondary school principals in New Zealand, Colin Prentice was the founding Principal of Macleans College, Auckland, where he established a reputation for high academic standards, firm discipline, and age-old values. Following a Commonwealth Relations Scholarship to London University he then led Mt Roskill Grammar to become one of the top multicultural schools in New Zealand. In 1994 he took over as CEO of New Zealand's premier aid agency, World Vision, visiting trouble spots such as Rwanda, Cambodia, Chernobyl, and Kosovo. In 2000 he re-joined the education world, liaising with secondary schools as Director of the Schools Partnership Office at Auckland University. His book, "When people matter most: vision-driven leadership" offers a timely insight into the role and impact of a leader in transforming schools, organisations, and communities. From the classrooms of Auckland to the freezing wastes of Mongolia it takes you on a heart-stirring journey that inspires and challenges. It is a pragmatic but deeply human-values-based approach to leadership and life.
