At a Glance
Motivation and managing change are more important than ever before if leaders are to navigate the upheavals affecting higher ed campuses and communities while maintaining their institutions’ relevancy. Leaders will need to harness the energies of disparate groups and channel them into quick, decisive action. Simultaneously, specific skills that have served higher ed leaders will endure and be used in new ways.
This special report acts as a primer for both the generation of existing leaders who hope to meet today’s challenges and the new generation of rising leaders. The report explores what makes this moment different from those in the past, what makes it similar and how leaders must adapt if they are to find success for the institutions they lead, the people they employ and the students they serve.
This special report is a resource for college and university leaders of all types of higher ed institutions: presidents, administrators, board members, faculty leaders and those who hold informal leadership positions.
