Advance Praise for
FIELD GUIDE TO ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP
"Once again, Bob Diamond has cut to the heart of the matter and has given us a field guide—actually a handbook—of real, hands-on academic leadership. He has assembled an elite group of contributors who provide insights and guidance, which will be useful for all academic leaders—new and old, public or private, CEO or assistant."
— CHARLES E. GLASSICK, senior associate emeritus, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and president, Reinhardt College
"This book brings together pertinent research findings with recommendations for effective practice across a wide array of topics. The authors include in their chapters a rich array of resources: annotated bibliographies, website URLs, and references. This book will be an invaluable resource for campus leaders working together on significant reform."
— PAULA P. BROWNLEE, principal, The Presidents' Group LLC; president emerita, Association of American Colleges and Universities; former president, Hollins College
"This is the kind of book that belongs on the credenza behind the desk, to be pulled out as issues arise. It is a very helpful addition to the growing body of literature which demonstrates that administration is somewhere between an art form and a set of acquired skills."
— ROBERT ATWELL, former president, American Council on Education
"Finally, someone has placed in one volume an overview of contemporary issues in academic leadership. This is a must-read book. The Field Guide has sound theoretical foundations, is practitioner friendly . . . and provides valuable insights into American higher education leadership."
— BARBARA S. LIGGETT, associate professor and director, Leadership Graduate Programs, School of Public Affairs and Administration, Western Michigan University
"A genuine on-the-job survival companion with practical, focused, and insightful guidance for key educational leadership challenges and must-know information. Highly recommended for cover-to-cover reading and as an ongoing spot reference for catch-up work and evolving roles."
— ANN E. PUYANA, vice president for academic affairs and chief learning officer, Valencia Community College, Orlando, Florida
"A 'how-to-do-it' manual for achieving sustainable institutional improvements and adaptations in a changing world. Every academic leader should have it on the shelf for easy and frequent reference—right alongside the undergraduate catalog and the faculty handbook."
— JERRY BERBERET, executive director, Associated New American Colleges
