Riassunto

You have just been selected to chair your department. Now a thousand questions and challenges await you. How do you recruit new, qualified faculty? How do you balance your time between managing a department and pursuing your own academic research? How do you allocate department resources? How do you prepare the budget? The answers to these and other vital questions confronting chairs of academic departments are clearly answered in this practical volume. Authors Walter H. Gmelch and Val D. Miskin describe all the basic tools necessary to be an effective academic chair. From recruiting and developing strong faculty to juggling the dual role of manager and scholar, this book covers every aspect of chairing an academic department. Chairing an Academic Department is the survival guide for anyone contemplating (or already knee-deep in) a chair's position.
