College presidents today are asked to do more, think and act faster, engage more, and demonstrate financial, academic and other successes more clearly than ever before. As the role expands and evolves, which qualities are absolutely essential? How can colleges and universities find the right person for an extremely demanding role?
Best Practices in Higher Education Presidential Search explores the dramatically shifting role of today’s president and illustrates methods that institutions and the search committees that represent them are using to attract and recruit different and difference-making leaders. The Third Edition features an addendum dedicated to the role that key cabinet and campus leaders – provosts and executives in student affairs, athletics, enrollment, advancement, and finance – play in presidential recruiting today.
