Deanship 101: A Quick Guide to Effective Leadership - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Being a leader among professionals can be very challenging--at a law firm, a hospital, or a college and university. The professionals are highly educated and want to be independent but realize they need your administrative support. How should you lead them? Why would they follow you, your decisions, and your policies? What do you need to lead them? This book is about the leadership of professionals learned primarily from the experience of being an academic dean and provost. While a great resource for deans and provosts, it is not exclusively for academics. It is for every senior administrator of a group of professionals--essentially leaders in their own right. The 101 lessons learned that are explained in this book can help any senior leader. The lessons are grouped into five categories: Authority and Responsibility; Decision Making; Processes, Procedures, and Policies; Working With Others; and You. Each lesson is brief with a summary statement and subtexts that explain further. The book is meant to be a quick reference or inspirational source for very busy, multitasking leaders--not a tome for indepth study. With this book, you can better learn, teach, and solve problems as a leader!
