Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the process by which community college leaders influence and manage their institutions, this monograph presents the Core Values Model, an organizational design that shows the interaction of three main elements: external forces, college systems and processes, and outcomes. A brief introduction describes the model, asserting that external forces drive leaders, leaders in turn develop systems to produce individual and group responses, and these responses produce outcomes and accountability data. The three components of the model are then described, beginning with the "drivers," or the external environment and college leadership. Next, systems and processes commonly affected by leaders are discussed, including college mission and educational strategies, the college culture, and information technology systems. Two types of outcomes (i.e., responses to leaders' systems and accountability data) are described, highlighting issues and techniques for achieving adequate responses within the college community. Change strategies employed by 10 community colleges are briefly described: Alabama Southern Community College, Colorado's Community College of Denver, Hazard Community College (Kentucky), James Sprunt Community College (South Carolina), Texas' Laredo Community College, Macomb Community College (Michigan), Florida's Miami-Dade Community College, Midlands Technical College (South Carolina), Palomar College (California), and California's Santa Barbara City College. Finally, an overview of strategies used by colleges and recommendations for implementing best practices are presented. Contains 19 references. (BCY)

Download or read book Unethical Leadership in Higher Education and the Precarious Journey to Recovery written by Donald Luther Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent events of the Alabama Community College System are examined as an historical organizational case study. Critical events are noted along with associated professional literature related to those events and actions. While the study attempts to explain the organizational culture that allowed the rise of unethical leadership, the primary focus is analyzing the System's response and identifying the successful strategies used to remedy the deleterious effects of a period of unethical leadership with hopes to restore the System's credibility. The examination of the System's response is guided by its implementation of revised policies and procedures, and includes analysis of information gathered from interviews, media reports, minutes of Board meetings, official correspondence, audit reports, and other documents. To aid in measuring the success in policy implementation and concomitant change in organizational culture, veteran employees of the System were interviewed. Their opinions and impressions of the changes help to explain the impact on the System and whether these organizational changes create a new environment which discourages a future lapse in ethical leadership. Recommendations derived from the research are generalized and intended to inform future education leaders charged with the task of leading a similar reformation and recovery process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anticipate, manage, and overcome the complex issues facing community colleges Practical Leadership in Community Colleges offers a path forward through the challenges community colleges face every day. Through field observations, reports, news coverage, and interviews with leaders and policy makers, this book digs deep into the issues confronting college leaders and provides clear direction for managing through the storm. With close examination of both emerging trends and perennial problems, the discussion delves into issues brought about by changing demographics, federal and state mandates, public demand, economic cycles, student unrest, employee groups, trustees, college supporters, and more to provide practical guidance toward optimal outcomes for all stakeholders. Written by former presidents, including a past president of the American Association of Community Colleges, this book provides expert guidance on anticipating and managing the critical issues that affect the entire institution. Both authors serve as consultants, executive coaches, and advisors to top leaders, higher education institutions, and leadership development programs throughout the United States. Community colleges are facing increasingly complex issues from both without and within. Some can be avoided, others only mitigated—but all must be managed, and college leaders must be fully prepared or risk failing the students and the community. This book provides real-world guidance for current and emerging leaders and trustees seeking more effective management methods, with practical insight and expert perspective. Tackle the college completion challenge and performance-based funding initiatives Manage through economic cycles, declining support, and calls for accountability Delve into the issues of privatization and employee unionization Execute strategies to align institutional goals and mission Manage organizational change and new ways of thinking that are essential in today's competitive environment Manage issues involving diversity, inclusiveness, and equity Prepare adequately for campus emergencies Community colleges are the heartbeat of the nation's higher education system, and bear the tremendous responsibility of serving the needs of a vast and varied student body. Every day may bring new issues, but effective management allows institutions to rise to the challenge rather than falter under pressure. Practical Leadership in Community Colleges goes beyond theory to provide the practical guidance leadership needs to more effectively lead institutions to achieve results and serve the students and the community.

This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education leadership continues to shift as new individuals move into positions of authority and management within the ranks of academia. These new leaders that come from within the academic and teaching ranks share their stories, experiences, and challenges of not only being black, gifted, and educated, but they speak very candidly about their journey to becoming more seasoned, proficient, and skilled. The narratives and encounters they share provide meaningful insight into the realm of black leadership at the college level, and constitute a guide and tool for handling conflict and change as an academic leader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This research project explores the predominant leadership characteristics among community college presidents as measured by Bass and Avolio's transformational leadership continuum, the degree of collective teacher efficacy among faculty, and any correlation that exists between them. The populations studied are the presidents and faculty of community colleges in Alabama. Two instruments were employed, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) developed by Bass and Avolio (1995) and Goddard's CE-SCALE (2000, 2002), as a measure of collective teacher efficacy. The researcher found evidence of mid-range collective efficacy scores among faculty and strong evidence of pervasive transformational leadership characteristics among college presidents. The researcher also found a positive correlation using Spearman coefficients between the degree of transformational leadership characteristics and the degree of collective teacher efficacy among four of the five dimensions of transformational leadership on the leadership continuum. Correlation was most pronounced for Idealized Influence (Behavior), which centers on the fact that transformational leaders communicate their most important values and sense of purpose to followers, a characteristic that promotes a collective and cohesive view of institutional purpose. Although a slightly negative correlation was found for Idealized Influence (Attributes), modest positive correlations were also found for Inspirational Motivation, Intellectual Stimulation, and Individual Consideration.

This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two things going for it that are rarely combined—it is fundamentally purposeful and it is useful. As the authors point out, there is a trilogy of needs confronting any business leader with a change agenda and/or transitioning into a new top role: influence, coalition building, and performance consulting. Of the three, performance consulting has received the least amount of attention in both the public and private-sector businesses. Because the focus on performance consulting rests primarily on the worker and the workplace environment, the authors contend that we must have a picture of how that environment has changed over the years. In this book, visionary leaders of community colleges will present their views about the present challenges and future approaches needed for community colleges to be successful.
