Today's higher education challenges necessitate new forms of
leadership. A volatile financial environment and the need for new
business models and partnerships to address the impact of new
technologies, changing demographics, and emerging societal needs,
demand more effective and innovative forms of leadership. This book
focusses on a leadership approach that has emerged as particularly
effective for organizations facing complex challenges: shared
leadership. Rather than concentrating power and authority in an
individual leader at the top of an organization, shared leadership
involves multiple people influencing one another across varying
levels and at different times. It is a flexible, collective, and
non-hierarchical approach to leadership. Organizations that have
implemented shared leadership have been better able to learn,
innovate, perform, and adapt to the types of external challenges
that campuses now face and that will continue to shape higher
education in the future. This book brings together the two foremost
scholars of higher education who have studied, described and
evaluated the impact of shared leadership, a university chancellor
with prior experience of facilitating systemic institutional change
at two university systems, and the former president of three
universities where she coordinated processes that led to the
transformational changes needed renew institutional mission and
purpose. Opening with four chapters that define the nature of
shared leadership, describe its key characteristics, and how to
build institutional capacity, the book then presents ten
institutional cases. Ranging from institution-wide initiatives at
four year colleges and a community college, to examples of managing
change in a college, a center, and across STEM departments, the
contributing authors describe the context and drivers of the need
for change, the building of shared vision to create coalitions,
lessons learned, and outcomes. Intended as a resource for leaders
at the highest levels such as Presidents and Provosts as well as
mid-level leaders such as deans, directors, and department chairs,
the book is also addressed to faculty and staff who are interested
in collaborating with campus leaders on institutional
decision-making or creating new change initiatives. It is intended
to build capacity for shared leadership across institutions and for
use in leadership courses and programs.
