Summary:
There are many guides for academic administrators that explore
differing philosophies of administration, theoretical approaches to
management and leadership, and new trends in higher education
administration. Books such as these can inspire department chairs to
develop a major new vision for their discipline or even their entire
institution. But in order to make that vision a reality, chairs must
know how to excel at the many administrative tasks assigned to them.
For instance, how do you cultivate a potential donor for much-needed
departmental resources? How do you interview someone when your dean
assigns you to a committee searching for an administrator in a
different academic area? How do you fire someone? How do you get your
department members to work together more harmoniously? How do you
keep the people who report to you motivated and capable of seeing the
big picture? This book is about the “how” of academic administration.
Based on a series of workshops given by the author in the area of
faculty and administrative development, each topic deals concisely
with the most important information chairs will want to have at their
fingertips when faced with a particular challenge or opportunity.
Intended to be a ready reference that chairs turn to as needed, this
book emphasizes proven solutions over untested theories and stresses
what chairs need to know now in order to be most successful in their
administrative positions.
