Education is a liberating and evolutionary force, which enables the
individual to rise from mere materiality to superior planes of
intellectual and spiritual consciousness. Education is a dialogue
between the past, present and the future, so that the coming
generations inherit the accumulated lessons. Since, the advances
and research affect the theme of higher education, all countries
are strengthening their higher education systems and adopting
strategies that will provide new dimensions, help in delivery,
change society and prepare young people to shoulder the
responsibilities of a difficult but fascinating future. To
understand what is involved in managing institutions of higher
learning especially academic leadership is crucial, it being the
most prestigious function and identified with creating intellectual
capital. Leadership is a complex process and academics demand a
leadership style that is more flexible, capable, innovative and
creative. Academic leaders need to have the right mix of academic
and commercial acumen. How academic leadership needs to draw
lessons from other areas - learn, integrate and build upon further
for meeting the challenges is the core of this book.
