"Sustainability is a complex concept, and the challenge of understanding it and applying it to a diverse, multi-agent organisational setting with its potentially conflicting priorities cannot be underestimated. Leadership for Sustainability in Higher Education provides key learning from the authors' extensive academic, leadership and professional experience in this area, supplemented with reference to key learning from other leaders and institutions. Janet Haddock-Fraser, Peter Rands and Stephen Scoffham bring together a wide range of influences and considerations, including: an understanding of the core constructs of leadership theory and sustainability, the range of perspectives through which to view and value sustainability, successful activities and actions undertaken by sustainability leaders in the higher education sector, models and methods to successfully implement sustainability that are new to the sector, influencers on the sustainability agenda, whether policy- or demand-led, external or internal, barriers to and enablers of success for leaders at individual, institutional and sector levels. These factors all combine to provide a framework for the reader within which to consider leadership for sustainability, both at an individual level and within the higher education culture and organisational norms. The authors provide a theoretical underpinning of key concepts, supplemented by examples of practice across the sector, both within the UK and internationally. Case studies from the UK, Australia, North America and India all bring to life the key opportunities and challenges of leading the sustainability agenda across a range of higher education institutions."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"Education: In The Dean's List, Matthew A. Waller provides a roadmap for anyone who leads or aspires to lead a business college. Waller, dean of the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas since 2015, offers a variety of practical tools and insights for leading effectively and confidently in the challenging, ever-evolving landscape of collegiate administration. Waller provides a field-tested framework for leadership as he explores twelve areas that are critical for leading a successful business college, including institutionalizing innovation, operating as the communicator in chief, managing the colleges finances, and delivering appreciation. The role of a dean has changed dramatically in the last few decades. In addition to managing up, down, and sideways while dealing with students, staff, and faculty, there's a growing demand for deans to work with parents, alumni, and donors as well as business and community leaders. The Dean's List highlights examples from Waller's career to illustrate practical advice for dealing with the specific challenges deans regularly face. The result is a handbook for shortening the learning curve for anyone who is, or aspires to be, the dean of a business college."--

This book breaks important new ground in describing the enhancements in performance, motivation and mental well-being that Inclusive Leadership brings to organisations. Illustrating these benefits through theory and practical examples, the book also contrasts this style with Command and Control or 'Transactional' leadership, a style that still holds sway in many organisations, with leaders focused on mistakes rather than progress. Inclusive Leadership will transport you through time and geography - from the UK, US, and Australia to France and Norway - showing how much more nurturing an environment Inclusive Leadership provides than Transactional leadership. Read how Inclusive Leadership complements a competitive strategy emphasising innovation and how it dominates in four organisations - Royal Mail Sales, the PageGroup, Sevenoaks School and APAM - spanning sales, recruitment, education and real estate. The chapters also cover education and the associations between Inclusive Leadership and enhanced undergraduate student performance, motivation and engagement both in Norway and in the UK. With a unique combination of both theoretical and practical perspectives, this book is a useful tool for practitioners in the corporate world; business, management and leadership students; and both emerging and established leaders.
