Inhaltsangabe

The higher education landscape stands at a historic crossroads shaped by technological disruption, demographic shifts, financial precarity, and global calls for equity and inclusion. In this environment, adaptive leadership becomes an essential enabler for institutions to navigate complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change rather than rely on traditional, rigid models of governance. Adaptive leaders foster collaboration across stakeholders, helping institutions rethink practices, curricula, and delivery models in ways that remain responsive to evolving societal needs. By encouraging experimentation, learning from failure, and distributing leadership across the organization, this approach supports innovation while maintaining institutional resilience. Adaptive Leadership for Equity, Innovation, and Resilience Within the New Academy bridges theory and practice by highlighting strategies that empower educational leaders to guide institutional transformation while advancing equity, wellness, and innovation. Integrating adaptive leadership with equity-minded practice, innovation governance, and organizational resilience, this book moves beyond diagnosis to implementation through approaches such as equity-aligned budgeting, culture change routines, and decision trees for polarized contexts. Covering topics such as community colleges, global academic partnerships, and women leaders, this book is an excellent resource for educational leaders, faculty, practitioners, administrators, researchers, scholars, and more.
