| Summary: | How do some university presidents "lose their way," and why are their consequential dismissals given so much media attention? This book explores in depth why university presidencies fail - and how university and college leadership can forestall, if not prevent, future leadership failures. A former university president, a professor, and a former chancellor work together to organize, classify, and explain patterns of leadership failures, drawing on firsthand testimonies from "derailed" university presidents, sixteen case studies in four sectors of higher education, and reviews of the scholarly literature on leadership failures in the public and private sectors. |
