Über diesen Titel

Críticas

In Sanaghan, Goldstein, and Gaval's new book, Presidential Transitions, three experienced practitioners in the field of higher education provide us with a carefully crafted, superbly grounded, and eminently practical strategic guide to presidential success in today's challenging environment. They offer a comprehensive, thoughtfully analytical, and wonderfully engaging 'handbook for success' for those involved in, supportive of, or somehow aligned with the work of the contemporary college and university presidency. While highlighting the on-going dynamic of a presidential experience truly, it's not the position; it is the transition the authors provide prescient guidance. Presidential Transitions is an excellent and important book, and a must-read for presidents, aspiring presidents, board members, senior institutional leaders, and students of higher education desiring to understand the challenges and possibilities of presidential leadership in the twenty-first Century.--Thomas C. Longin, executive editor, Planning for Higher Education and consultant to governing boards and presidents

Reseña del editor

The authors offer practical guidance in this book, which is designed to provide assistance to presidents, trustees, faculty, and other important stakeholder groups to help them avoid the pitfalls of poorly managed transitions. They discuss how, with proper planning, care, and execution, this presidential passage can be an opportunity for a transitioning president, and those who surround him or her, to write a positive chapter in the campus history. Readers will discover that appropriately addressing the anxiety that accompanies major transitions - for both those joining the institution and those already present - is essential. Dozens of presidents, chancellors, board members, and other senior executives were interviewed for this book.
