Strategic Leadership ─ Integrating Strategy and Leadership in Colleges and Universities

For higher education faculty, administrators, and board members who participate in decision making, Morrill, former president and chancellor of the U. of Richmond and a current consultant on governance, leadership, and strategy to colleges and universities, describes how and why to use the process of strategy as a form of leadership in colleges and universities. He redefines the role of strategy in decision making and explores how strategy and leadership have been developed in different contexts, through discussion of the elements of leadership, analysis of presidential leadership in higher education, values as standards of choice, how responsibility can be used to situate strategy, strategic planning and governance, a strategy process, and limitations.
