Leadership in Higher Education. ERIC Digest.
Author: McDade, Sharon A.
ERIC Clearinghouse on Higher Education, Washington, D.C.
THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION
CENTER.
American higher education continues to face difficult times. As the number
of problems has grown over the past decades, the
many constituencies of the higher education enterprise have searched for
stronger managers and visionary leaders. It is not
enough to be only an administrator or only a leader. Colleges and
universities need leaders and managers who can turn their
visions into reality.
