How to Lead Academic Departments Successfully

Edited by Adam Lindgreen, Alan Irwin, Flemming Poulfelt and Thyra U. Thomsen

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: It is an old cliché that leading and managing academics is like herding cats. This book challenges this myth and presents a way to deal with the many challenges of academic leadership, from managing departments, research groups and teams to managing tensions between research and teaching. The book is a practical and stimulating guide to different pathways to successful academic leadership, both in personal and organizational terms.
