Ingenious Leadership: Creating Solutions to Wicked Problems in Higher Education (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Ingenious Leadership: Creating Solutions to Wicked Problems in Higher Education (en Inglés)"
In past decades, the traditional higher education leadership playbook sufficed-as long as a crisis didn't hit. Now, with higher education facing unprecedented challenges and grappling with wicked problems-those complex, multifaceted issues with no simple solutions-the old playbook has failed. Conversations with over 100 college and university leaders featured on the IngenioUs podcast reveal that today's volatile, uncertain landscape demands a new kind of leadership. In Ingenious Leadership, Melissa Morriss-Olson presents a framework for developing this innovative leadership approach, informed by insights from forward-thinking leaders who have guided their institutions through stormy times. Discover the principle themes of ingenious leadership, the practices and empower it, the habits that develop it, and the stories of those who exemplify it. The companion workbook includes a leadership self-assessment and practical worksheets to help you apply these concepts to your own leadership journey.
