Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Higher education and corporate America share an unexpected similarity: both thrive or collapse based on leadership. In corporate boardrooms, success is measured by profits; in universities, the currency is student success. When leadership falters in either, the results are disastrous.Today, higher education in the United States stands at a breaking point. Institutions tasked with shaping the future are undermined by leaders focused on personal ambition rather than mission. The consequences are evident: skyrocketing tuition, stagnant programs, and eroding public trust. At the root of these issues is a leadership crisis where decisions prioritize prestige over progress.This book provides an insider's perspective on the systemic dysfunction in higher education and offers a path forward. It unveils how governing boards become political battlegrounds, administrators chase superficial goals, and leaders evade accountability, often at the expense of students, faculty, and society. Real-world case studies illustrate these failures and highlight how transformative leadership can address the crisis.For instance, in 2018, a prominent public university plunged into chaos after a power struggle between its president and politically entangled board of trustees. The president's plans for innovation were abandoned, leaving the institution demoralized and adrift. Such stories reflect a broader systemic failure-but they also underscore the potential for change with the right leadership.This book is more than a critique; it's a blueprint for reimagining leadership in higher education. Solutions include transparency in performance reviews, merit-based hiring, fostering collaboration, and examples of leaders who brought lasting change against all odds. Addressing these issues isn't just about fixing what's broken-it's about seizing opportunities to turn challenges into progress.For higher education to thrive, top-heavy administrative structures must be streamlined, innovation embraced, and public confidence restored. This book equips leaders, faculty, students, and stakeholders with actionable insights to break free from cycles of dysfunction and mediocrity. The stakes are high, but the potential for transformative change is even greater.If you believe in education's power to shape lives and the future, this book is your call to action. Together, we can restore leadership, accountability, and excellence to higher education, rebuilding it into a system that fulfills its promise to society. …
