Autor Devorah Lieberman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 iun 2026
Presidents of institutions around the globe are facing challenges that have never before been encountered, or experienced, to this magnitude. This includes, but is not limited to: managing budgets during times of economic crises; imposed government policies that were nonexistent in prior years, shifting public trust in higher education, introductions of tools (e.g., AI) that are altering how institutions teach, how students learn, and the production and application of new knowledge.

This book spotlights 13 university leaders from institutions across Australia, Bangladesh, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Georgia, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These institutions range from small to large, public to private, and nonprofit to for-profit. Readers who are current university presidents (or aspiring to be) will (1) read of the authors experiences as president, challenges they faced, introspection about their abilities, and (2) acquire tools they can immediately apply to their own situations/campuses/lives.

Recenzii

Guided by Principle, Driven by Change is an inspiring collection that brings the perspectives of college and university presidents from around the world to bear on the most urgent questions facing higher education. The volume offers comparative insights into how purpose and courage translate into transformative institutional practice around the globe and moreover, juxtaposes the voices of women and men leaders distilling distinct challenges and tactics. It is a terrific resource for current presidents, aspiring leaders, and boards who seek to learn across contexts the concrete, values-based strategies for marshalling colleges and universities through profound change.
This prescient book provides a global wide perspective on the thinking and strategies of university leaders during an unprecedented moment of fiscal, demographic and political challenges. This anthology is an important addition to the leadership literature in higher education.
This is a timely and much-needed book. At a moment when higher education leaders are navigating unprecedented policy pressures, financial constraints, and heightened public scrutiny, the guidance offered here could not be more relevant. Through compelling vignettes and thoughtful reflections, this publication provides practical, experience-grounded advice for both new and seasoned university presidents across the globe. Its insights, particularly around leadership, resilience, and gender dynamics, offer not only wisdom, but reassurance and clarity during a critical time for our institutions. This is a resource that will support presidents in leading with purpose and integrity while building a legacy that truly endures.
This book inspired me. As a leader of a global education association with members in 80 countries, I have long held that we are more connected across higher education than divided. Guided by Principle, Driven by Change reinforces that belief through its fascinating look at strategies and approaches that have helped leaders become more effective, and, more importantly, better stewards of their institutions. I appreciate the fresh look at commonalities and differences between male and female leaders. While we all bring unique demographic characteristics and life experiences to our roles, at the end of the day our success is determined by our commitment to students, our engagement with communities, and our ability to enthusiastically champion our institutions which have transformational impact upon society locally and globally.
