Once rare, presidential transitions at institutions of higher
education now command the attention of about one-quarter of the
nation's colleges and universities at any given time. Though they
occur frequently, transitions at this level are hardly routine, and
American higher education has not developed a tradition of managing
this process proactively. Here, James Martin and James E. Samels
bring together a distinguished group of higher education
professionals to provide the first comprehensive guidebook to
managing change at the top.
Presidents, administrators, trustees, faculty, and others
involved in a change in leadership will benefit from this
wide-ranging discussion of the issues combined with specific action
plans for the busy professional. The volume's contributors address
proactive management, best practices for sudden transitions, and
how campuses can turn challenges into opportunities. Also addressed
are executive search firms, the interim president, boards of
trustees, presidential spouses, and public relations.
