Addressing the question of how leadership can work most
successfully in universities, "Engaging Leaders "strengthens the
sense of shared professional knowledge and capability amongst
leaders in higher education. Presenting a narrative of change which
not only spells out why universities need to work differently, this
book also takes the reader through clear practical steps which any
practising leader can take in order to build a collaborative
professional culture which supports and challenges all members of
an academic community.
Using a selection of case studies from UK and international
universities, the book explores why working collectively remains a
fundamental challenge for many higher education institutions and
looks at the benefits of creating a collective commitment
throughout universities. It covers:
- action learning and professional learning communities
- emotionally-intelligent organisational cultures
- feedback as an intrinsic tool
- building partnerships and collaborations
- Higher Education and public value
- cultures of innovation and sustainable practices.
"
Engaging Leaders" is for those who see themselves as leaders in
higher education, whether or not this is recognised in their job
title. It provides stimulating perspectives on what they might do
to become more engaged and engaging, and includes examples of
inspiring practice which is already making a difference in
universities, colleges and new private providers. It will be of
value to established managers as well as those new in post, and
also for those participating in postgraduate programmes.
