ABSTRACT
Promoting the career learning and development of young people through the formal education system presents formidable leadership and strategic management challenges. We examine some of the key elements of leadership and strategy as they apply to CLD and relate this to the performance of key tasks. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the main roles and responsibilities of a wide range of guidance and education professionals working as senior leaders, middle leaders and operational staff, not all of whom would readily class themselves as careers specialists.
