About the Book

This study of the research university presidency is unusual in its frankness and honesty and varied in the types of cases discussed. The subject pool is significant because all are widely recognized leaders of major universities. Together they represent some of the leading educational institutions in the country--those to which other college and university leaders look to set standards and model solutions to common problems.

This book is unusual in the literature of higher education leadership studies for several reasons: It uses detailed case histories collected from the presidents of prestigious peer universities rather than a broad survey of a mixed group of administrators and institution types. The presidents speak frankly on the record, rather than anonymously. The analysis is based on a psychological and a strategic, or problem-solving, approach rather than a mathematical and theoretical model.

A study of the academic presidency, this book will provide readers with a better understanding of this complex leadership position by identifying patterns in the university presidency and addressing questions of culture, governance, and stress.
