Developing Administrative Excellence 87: Creating a Culture of Leadership (New Directions for Higher Education) - Softcover

Leadership development programming can significantly strengthen a college or university by fostering a team approach to solving institutional problems, by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of its human resources, and by creating a ready pool of qualified professionals for middle- and senior-level positions. For these goals to be successfully realized, however, leadership programming should be fully integrated into the life of the institution. The aim should be to create a culture of leadership. This volume is intended to inspire thinking about how such a culture of leadership can be created. This is the 87th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Higher Education. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.
