reflections on leadership and governance of higher

520 Scholars, especially those interested in understanding how
leadership has inhibited academic freedom and hindered
effectiveness of institutions of higher learning have for
long been engaged by the very important manner in which
governance and leadership of higher education institutions
in Africa is constituted and managed. The fact that there
has been a dearth of work based on the experiences of
those who have served as university leaders has created a
major gap. Questions remain on how leaders of higher
education institutions are identified, how they are
prepared, the personal predispositions that individuals
bring to the exercise of such positions and their personal
experiences regarding what energizes or inhibits the
performance of their work. Until recently, presidents in
most African countries served as chancellors of public
universities, identification of those who served as
university leaders was largely a political process. But
much has changed, with most countries establishing
oversight bodies and the overall governance of higher
education institutions divorced from the day-to-day
political processes. Trails in Academic and Administrative
Leadership in Kenya provides a personal account of the
experiences in higher education leadership from an
individual whose tenure in leadership straddled the two
eras. In this book, Prof. Michieka provides an account of
how his early education prepared him for roles in academic
and institutional leadership in Kenya. The author shares
his experiences on the trails he had to navigate as an
academic, a vice-chancellor and a chairperson of
university council at a time when universities in Kenya
were transiting from extreme government administrative
control to a greater degree of operational autonomy.
Readers will find in this work thought-provoking insights
on how leaders of higher education institutions in Kenya
have had to balance between demands of the political
system and the need to safeguard academic traditions in
the everyday management of the institutions.
