Leading Academic Change

by Ann F. Lucas

"This book shows how to manage academic change at the department level. It provides ideas and strategies on handling resistance to change, transforming departments into productive learning communities, and improving educational quality for students. Readers will also find guidelines for developing structure and policy that will shape the way departments view themselves and set priorities. For new faculty members, a wellcrafted promotion and tenure statement can not only communicate the department's priorities but promote conduct that will contribute to long-term personal growth and productivity."--Jacket.
