Abstract	Firstly, this paper synthesises some current thinking about educational reform in general and the preparation of educational leaders which requires multi-level, complex and holistic strategies focusing on both individuals and institutions. It then examines the purposes and content of educational reform which is impacting on school leaders before considering the qualities, skills and attitudes they need in order to cope with such changes. It argues that the development of a sustainable infrastructure for reform depends on the selection, empowerment and support of key people at several levels within the educational system. - A variety of approaches to pre-service, induction and in-service development of school leaders in the USA and UK is briefly noted. Experience of preparing educational leaders in recent years in Poland is then analysed drawing on three contrasting but interrelated strategies. Key questions addressed are: 1) What did we learn about the nature of educational change and its leadership? 2) What are the general and specific development needs of educational leaders in reform projects and in schools? 3) How might a sustainable development culture for and by educational leaders be created?
