Abstract
This chapter outlines a case study of the philosophical and pragmatic leadership of the new Indonesian International Islamic University (UIII), interpreted through the lens of a Western management theory. It argues that Islam, especially since 9/11, has become overidentified in the West as a menacing, politicized force which has diminished a view of the deep spiritual principles contained in the religion. Indonesia, as the world’s largest Muslim nation, presents a counternarrative to this Western stereotype, exemplified by the mission of UIII and embodied in the leadership of its founding Rectors. The chapter further argues the correspondence between the first principles of the leadership of UIII and the systems thinking method articulated by Peter Senge in his seminal text The Fifth Discipline: the Art and Practice of the Learning Organization. It does so in order to demonstrate the commonalities between Senge’s Western vision of a learning organization and that of UIII, and so further erode the sense of menacing otherness contained in the widespread stereotype of Islam.

Abstract
Leadership is pivotal in the success of a school, particularly when it undergoes a transformation from a low-performing school to an effective one, referred to as a turnaround school. However, little is understood about the notion of turnaround school, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This research aims to reveal the leadership strategies implemented in Indonesian primary schools that have successfully executed a turnaround from unfavourable conditions. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach to deeply explore the intricate dynamics of educational leadership in Indonesian schools, we conducted in-depth interviews with three principals recognised for bringing about significant change in their institutions as well as ten teachers who worked in those schools.
