Leading for Tomorrow: A Primer for Succeeding in Higher Education Leadership
Autor Pamela L. Eddy, Elizabeth Kirby Cuvânt înainte de Adrianna Kezaren Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 iun 2020 – vârsta ani
When faculty climb the ranks into leadership positions, they come with years of knowledge and experience, yet they are often blindsided by the delicate interpersonal situations and political minefields they must now navigate as university administrators. What are the specific skills that faculty need to acquire when they move into administrative positions, and how can they build upon their existing abilities to excel in these roles? What skills can other mid-level leaders learn to help in their positions?
Using an engaging case study approach, Leading for Tomorrow provides readers with real-world examples that will help them reflect on their own management and communication styles. It also shows newly minted administrators how they can follow best practices while still developing a style of leadership that is authentic and uniquely their own.
The book’s case studies offer practical solutions for how to deal with emerging trends and persistent problems in the field of higher education, from decreasing state funding to political controversies on campus. Leading for Tomorrow gives readers the tools they need to get the best out of their team, manage conflicts, support student success, and instill a campus culture of innovation that will meet tomorrow’s challenges.

Recenzii
“The authors of this compelling and informative book are to be commended on expanding traditional notions of administration to include the skills necessary to succeed in these complex and networked times.”
"Eddy and Kirby have accomplished what few authors can – a blend of theories, concepts, cases, and specific leadership suggestions that will engage practitioners AND researchers. Their cases will draw in organizational leaders, while their review of the literature and theory will support faculty teaching courses on leadership, change, conflict, and organizations."
