| Summary |
Bob Diamond has cut to the heart of the matter and has given us a field guide -- actually a handbook -- of real, hands-on academic leadership. He has assembled an elite group of contributors who provide insights and guidance, which will be useful for all academic leaders -- new and old, public or private, CEO or assistant. This book brings together pertinent research findings with recommendations for effective practice across a wide array of topics. The authors include in their chapters a rich array of resources: annotated bibliographies, website URLs, and references. This book is a manual for achieving sustainable institutional improvements and adaptations in a changing world. - Back cover. |
