Featuring a diverse cohort of seasoned leaders in higher education, this book outlines a flexible, ten step-framework to achieve operational efficiency and build a strong internal infrastructure for any functional area within an institution.
Ten infrastructural components are required for an effective, student-centered, and equitable functional area; these are navigating change and context; data; budgeting; strategic planning; day-to-day operations; university policy and procedure; organizational staffing; training and developing; communication and collaboration; and strategic enrollment management. Each chapter examines one of the ten components and provides practical steps for implementation, equipping leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to foster positive change within their roles.
Whether a newly minted leader or a senior professional, this text is designed to support all higher education directors, deans, provosts, and division leaders in their administrative goals.
