The book explores how to build an approach to academic leadership
based on your own personal values, convictions, and principles.
Rather than trying to assert that only certain values (or even
virtues) are essential for good leadership, the approach taken is
to begin with who you really are, "your true self," and then to
build a leadership framework consistent with that identity that
makes your institution or program stronger. We explore why
hypocrisy is damaging to any form of leadership, but particularly
so in higher education where values of scholarship and research are
based on the confidence we have in others' integrity. As a result,
authenticity, even more than such commonly promoted "traits of
leaders" as vision, courage, and compassion, becomes the core of
effective leadership in the academy today. Through hypothetical
case studies and thought experiments, the book challenges
administrators to identify a small set of core values that truly
define who they are as academic leaders and then to use those
values as the basis for a philosophy of leadership that guides them
through the turbulent changes occurring in higher education today.
