Introduction

Move 1: State research field

Move 2: Establish niche

Move 3: Occupy niche

My attempt at rewriting the introduction:
A central issue in educational leadership is communication. Communication is regarded as an essential leadership skill. Relatively few studies focus on listening as a key communication skill. The objective of this study is to examine the ways in which listening improves the leadership practice of Cook Island leaders in New Zealand primary schools.

Conclusion

Move 1: Summarise findings

Move 2: Identify implications

Move 3: Suggest further research
