Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on the same vital research that formed the foundation of their classic bestseller The Leadership Challenge, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner offer higher education professionals a set of leadership skills and practices that are available to everyone, not just a charismatic few. Kouzes and Posner identify Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® and provide case examples of real people on college and university campuses who demonstrate each practice: model the way; inspire a shared vision; challenge the process; enable others to act; encourage the heart. Anyone in higher education who wants to transform values into actions, visions into realities, obstacles into innovations, segments into solidarity, and risks into rewards must read this book.
