Every day academic leaders face desks, inboxes, and schedules stuffed full of meetings, emails, complaints, committees, requests, and the occasional crisis--all competing for scarce time and attention. It's all too easy to lose the forest for the trees--or vice versa--and there are few resources that help leaders rise above the noise of busy lives in the academy.
Academic Leadership Day by Day is a hands-on resource designed to givebusy, over-scheduled, and over-worked academic leaders at all levels a chance to pause a few moments for useful, wise, and warm-hearted advice. The book is filled with practical insight and suggestions for meeting the challenges of academic administration in a way that reflects how leaders really work.
Drawn from both Jeffrey Buller's many years of experience as a department chair, dean, and vice president for academic affairs and feedback from his popular workshops, this handy resource offers both new and seasoned leaders one good idea each day, ideas that can be put into practice immediately.
Jeffrey Buller presents suggestions that are designed to encourage leaders to experiment with and discover what works best for them. In just a few minutes each day, leaders can see how significant improvements result from small, gradual, and consistent efforts. From grappling with budget management to thinking about career advancement to navigating the tricky waters of institutional politics, Academic Leadership Day by Day is a daily companion to carry with you in the trenches of academic life.
