Leaders from both private and public institutions provide a
360-degree view of the challenges and opportunities facing higher
education—and offer a manifesto for restoring relevance and
respect. Where is the value in higher education? How can higher
education restore its relevance and trust with students and
parents? Are there really any meaningful differences between public
and private higher education? This volume probes those questions
and more, exploring the myriad issues that have led many people to
question whether higher education is worth the sacrifices it
requires of parents and students. Drawing on the experience and
expertise of a wide variety of highly renowned academics, respected
government officials, and well-grounded individuals from the
private sector, this thought-provoking book offers readers simple
but powerful ways to evaluate whether prospective colleges and
universities merit the very substantial investment of time,
abilities, and financial resources they necessitate. Readers will
learn what to look for in a college or university and what
questions to ask in selecting an institution of higher education.
They will also learn how parents, students, academicians, and other
stakeholders can advocate for changes to benefit both higher
education and the constituency it serves.
Intentional Leadership: Becoming a Trustworthy Leader clearly
explains the ways leaders can build trust in three stages of their
career: as an individual contributor, as a team member, and as a
leader of an organization. Through profiling a trustworthy leader,
Bob Lintz, and his career at General Motors, this text illustrates
how leaders can be intentional in leading themselves, their teams,
and their organizations by building the ROCC of Trust (be reliable,
open and honest, competent, and compassionate). The authors also
feature other authentic leaders to demonstrate how to build trust
along your leadership journey. Some noteworthy differences from
this book's first edition include: Revised from the first edition
with more than 80% new material to help leaders at all ages and all
stages build trust and move from an individual contributor to an
organizational leader. Each chapter is structured around the career
of Bob Lintz, who successfully turned around a failing GM plant in
the suburb of Cleveland. He now serves The Cleveland Clinic's Board
of Trustees where he is applying the lessons learned from this
turnaround. Each chapter also contains the experience and wisdom of
other trustworthy leaders from a variety of backgrounds,
ethnicities, and economic sectors: this will inspire other leaders
to build trust intentionally and authentically. An accessible and
informative tone, with a focus on research and anecdotes, to create
a cohesive guidebook for leaders. Intentional Leadership is
suitable for new as well as experienced leaders who want to learn
more about how to build trust with employees and other
stakeholders, and who want to be intentional in the way they lead
others.
