This book was released on 2011 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To engage presidents more directly in what is becoming an increasingly rancorous discussion of higher education's current priorities, the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education convened a set of presidential soundings and exchanges in the spring and summer of 2010 with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Lumina Foundation for Education. The process included one-on-one interviews and a two-day roundtable discussion to consider higher education's role in meeting the nation's need for a more highly educated and skilled population in a time of dramatic change and uncertainty. In all, the process involved presidents of 28 universities and colleges--including two- and four-year institutions large and small, public and independent, proprietary and nonprofit. A Presidential Roundtable convened in Leesburg, Virginia, in July 2010 included 16 of the 28 presidents initially interviewed who were able to participate. The goal of these presidential soundings was to provide a vision of higher education's continued vitality in a time of fiscal constraint, and to offer a set of actions that presidents can take to help both their institutions individually and the nation collectively to move forward.

Book Transformational Leadership at Urban and Metropolitan Public Universities

Download or read book Transformational Leadership at Urban and Metropolitan Public Universities written by Patrick S. Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The focus of this dissertation is on transformational leadership at publicly supported institutions of higher education in urban and metropolitan settings. A quantitative analysis was performed to study the perception of the transformational leadership skills of presidents of such universities. Overall, this dissertation will explore three subgroups of the university community--faculty, staff and administrators--and their perceptions of the transformational leadership qualities of their current university president. Transformational leaders tend to serve as guiding, mentoring coaches. They possess vision and charisma and they inspire employees to perform beyond expectations for the good of the organization. Bass and Avolio list four factors that define transformational leadership: idealized influence (charisma); inspirational motivation; intellectual stimulation; and individualized consideration (Bass and Avolio, 1993) (Table 1). Transformational leadership, when properly enacted, can result in greater organizational effectiveness, greater employee commitment to the mission and organization, employee willingness to exert extra effort, higher moral and motivational levels and emotional responses such as inspiration to excel and attachment to the leader (Stoner-Zemel, 1991). The intellectual offspring of Burns' transformational theory place emphasis on vision, values, empowerment, trust, culture and leader-follower relationships that comprise coaching, teaching and counseling. As leaders and managers confront the dynamic demands of the twenty-first century, it is believed that the twentieth century hierarchical, bureaucratic, managerial, controlling model will decrease in its effectiveness and its ability to energize and help to coordinate knowledge workers (Cleveland, 1985). An emerging conceptualization of leadership that includes the attributes of being transformational, visionary, values-based, developing, inspiring and empowering offers a viable approach to contemporary organizational coordination (Fairholm, 1991). This research focused on faculty, staff and administrators at 20 public urban colleges and universities in the U.S. (Appendix A), and detailed their perceptions of the transformational leadership skills of their presidents."--Abstract

Book Presidential Leadership in an Age of Change

Download or read book Presidential Leadership in an Age of Change written by Michael A. Genovese and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American public hungers for a heroic leader. From John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush, every American president has left office either under a cloud or as a failed leader. Michael A. Genovese argues that presidents are set up for failure; it is not specific presidents but the presidency itself that is the problem. The presidency was designed to prevent tyranny through a system of separation of powers that inhibits presidents from exercising sufficient power to meet the demands and expectations that developed over time. Each new president dreams of success, only to be crushed by the paralytic weight of vetoes and roadblocks. As they fail to meet expectations, Americans turn on them, making their already precarious position much worse. Given the perilous nature of the office, Genovese examines the skills required to achieve success and the roles of power and persuasion. He also examines how globalization and the rapid pace of change contribute to the decline of presidential power. This accessible synthesis of scholarship is geared toward an audience that is hungry to unravel the dilemmas of presidential leadership. Students of the presidency will find it insightful; general readers will find it illuminating.

Download or read book The View from the Helm written by James J. Duderstadt and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as one of the most active and publicly engaged university presidents in modern academia, Duderstadt—who led the University of Michigan from 1988 to 1996—presided over a period of enormous change, not only for his institution, but for universities across the country. His presidency was a time of growth and conflict: of sweeping new affirmative-action and equal-opportunity programs, significant financial expansion, and reenergized student activism on issues from apartheid to codes of student conduct. Under James Duderstadt’s stewardship, Michigan reaffirmed its reputation as a trailblazer among universities. Part memoir, part history, part commentary, The View from the Helm extracts general lessons from his experiences at the forefront of change in higher education, offering current and future administrators a primer on academic leadership and venturing bold ideas on how higher education should be steered into the twenty-first century.
