Reviews
Any president, team leader, or team builder can glean a sizable amount of wisdom from Redesigning Collegiate Leadership... The authors provide experiential knowledge on how to build and evaluate a 'real,' complex team.
Reading this work becomes a personal as well as intellectual journey of reflecting on who we are and what we might wish to become as collaborative leaders and team builders. An important journey for any administrator in American higher education today.
This book should be read by every college president, administrator, and academic leader. It challenges the assumptions about current hierarchical leadership and successfully reinforces team processes and collaborative leadership.
This excellent book is rare in its focus on leadership groups in higher education. The conceptual lens and illuminating examples should be useful both to those who study higher education and to those who 'practice' higher education leadership.
