Description

This important new work will help department chairs, faculty, and administrators understand and address the increasing complexity of relationships within higher education, as well as the growing influence of external factors. The Department Chair as Academic Leader is a completely updated revision of Allan Tucker's seminal contribution, Chairing the Academic Department, last published in 1992. This work reflects the approach used in the ACE Workshops for Division and Department Chairs and Deans. Review Every individual who currently holds the position of Chair or who desires to attain such a position should read, study, and reflect on how his or her performance measures up to the practices described by the authors. Each of its 14 characters is well-referenced, and in most cases, references are critically annotated to guide the reader toward a deeper understanding of such topics as faculty cultures and values, minorities on campus, communication skills, faculty and staff evaluation, team building, budgeting, legal issues, and fundraising. Practical yet seeking to hold academics and administrators to higher standards, The Department Chair as Academic Leader should accompany the appointment letter of every new department head. This volume provides thoughtful and helpful perspectives and suggestions regarding how to lead our new era. It acknowledges the new conditions in which higher education is moving and is a valuable resource for both old and new chairs.--Journal of Higher Education About the Author IRENE W. D.
