Book excerpt: It has been 15 years since the initial publication of the American Association of Community Colleges’ competencies for community college leaders (AACC, 2005), which outlined six competencies community college leaders needed if they were to be successful: organizational strategy, resource management, communication, collaboration, community college advocacy, and professionalism. After copious research regarding the competencies in the early years after their publication (e.g., Boswell & Imroz, 2013; Hassan et al., 2009; Kools, 2010, McNair, 2009; McNair et al., 2011), community college leaders both validated the competencies while admitting they were underprepared for early leadership roles relative to the importance of each competency. There has been limited research surrounding the competencies since this first wave, including a dearth of studies surrounding the publication of the second edition of the AACC competencies (AACC, 2013). This descriptive nonexperimental survey research design examined the AACC competencies for community college leaders through the lens of Ivy Tech Community College, the nation’s largest singly-accredited community college (ITCC, 2020a). This study examined: (a) to what degree emerging, new, and veteran community college leaders believed the AACC competencies for community college leaders are important for community college leaders to possess, (b) to what degree emerging, new, and veteran community college leaders perceived their own competence of each of the AACC competencies for community college leaders, (c) were there significant differences between the importance and perceived competence levels of each of the AACC competencies for community college leaders, (d) what acquisition sources did emerging, new, and veteran community college leaders believe are important surrounding the attainment of each of the AACC competencies for community college leaders, and (e) were there significant differences between respondent demographics and the importance, perceived competence level, and acquisition sources of each of the AACC’s competencies for community college leaders? Respondents affirmed research findings surrounding the importance of the AACC competencies for community college leaders, and respondents rated themselves significantly less prepared in each competency relative to its importance level. Respondents also found practical experiences to be more important than doctoral education in the acquisition of the competencies. While there were few significant differences among respondents’ answers by gender, age, educational attainment, and office location, practical differences arose with women respondents having larger perceived self-competence gaps than men respondents related to the competencies. This study adds to the literature of various studies on the first and second editions of the AACC competencies for community college leadership, with competencies that are the backbone of the third edition. While reviewing the second edition of the competencies, this study examines the competencies through lenses not previously identified by expanding a wider swath of community college staff and administrative faculty than just community college presidents and board of trustees’ members. These results bring into focus the 15 years of work community college leaders, practitioners, and doctoral faculty have put into improving their respective practices. This study may be used as a springboard upon which to examine the third edition of the AACC competencies for community college leaders. Additional results surrounding gender and the competencies open the doors to further research on the topic while also offering practical suggestions for addressing these disparities.

This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AACC competencies were initially developed to help provide guidance in developing community college leaders because of predictions of a leadership crisis in the two-year college sector. Since their creation, the competencies have been used to direct topics in leadership development programs and to guide future leaders about what skills are critical to master. Yet scant research exists on the use of the competencies in practice or on analysis of the competencies within the changing higher education climate. This issue provides a review of the research on the competencies in the field and posits several strategies for the future use of the competencies and potential changes to the competencies. This is the 159th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative non-experimental study is to determine the leadership competencies most desired by members of the community college board of trustees and faculty for a community college president. The study will examine the alignment of those competencies between the trustees and their faculty groups to determine if the two groups seek similar or dissimilar qualities in a president. This research is also designed to further existing research on insights that may be helpful to boards of trustees, faculty, presidential search committees, and other college stakeholders when conducting a presidential search. Data for this survey was collected using a survey instrument designed from the AACC Competencies for Community College Leaders framework, created in 2005. This framework provided 45 illustrations of competencies, representing six major competency areas, which the respondents ranked on a Likert scale. The survey was sent to 751 faculty and 25 trustees across six community colleges in eastern Washington. Descriptive statistics were used to create a demographic profile of the respondents and inferential statistics were used to determine if statistically significant differences existed between the response of the faculty and trustees on each illustration. The Mann-Whitney U and Independent Samples Median test were used to determine if statistically significant differences did exist between the two respondent groups. A statistically significant difference was found in the responses of the two groups on 6 of the 45 competency illustrations. The results of the study do provide implications for future practice that will benefit trustees, faculty, presidential search committees, sitting presidents and prospective presidents. Recommendations for research to further these findings include expansion to a more diverse group of stakeholders and the practical implications of using the AACC model to guide a presidential search.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: At a time when strong leadership is needed to guide community colleges forward, a major crisis seems to be stirring (Eddy & VanDerLinden, 2006). According to some estimates, 45% of community college presidents will have retired by 2007 (Shults, 2001) and an even worse prediction offered by Weisman and Vaughan (2002) predict 79% of community college presidents will be retired by 2012. Echoing this view, Amey et al. (2002) assert that there is much work to be done in preparing the younger generations of community college leaders with skills and competencies necessary to meet this leadership challenge. There were two primary purposes addressed in this study. First, to further validate the AACC competencies by determining how current presidents and trustee board chairpersons from the states of New York and Florida rated the importance of the AACC (2005) characteristics and professional skills for effective community college leadership. Second, to identify those experiences and practices that community college presidents reported as helpful to their development of the six AACC leadership competencies. The results of this study provide support for the value of the six AACC competencies and offer important insights into the specific experiences that contributed to the development of these competencies for community college presidents. Specifically, there was consensus among New York and Florida community college presidents and trustee board chairpersons that all six competencies identified by AACC are "very" or "extremely" important for the success of community college leaders. Additionally, this study supported the philosophy that leader development is learned in many ways and that various leadership experiences contribute differently to the development of the AACC Competencies for Community College Leaders, some apparently more relevant to certain competencies than others. In conclusion, the results of this study provide community college leaders, boards of trustees, hiring committees and leadership development programmers with additional validation on the AACC competencies and those experiences and practices that community college presidents reported as helpful to their development of the six AACC leadership competencies.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community college leadership development has traditionally been offered at the national and the state-wide level. A recent trend is the in-house leadership program offered by an individual community college to employees. There is evidence in the literature that that expansion of community college leadership programs is a response to the ongoing leadership succession crisis. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) published a leadership competency framework in 2005 to strengthen community college leadership development programs. Recent research indicates the AACC leadership competencies are relevant to both the internal and external challenges facing community colleges. A limited body of research has explored how the AACC leadership competencies are used by in-house community college leadership development programs. This study explored the emphasis and utilization of the AACC leadership competencies and the presence of transformational leadership in the curriculums of in-house community college leadership development programs. The study also determined if college size and geographic location were factors in the presence of the AACC leadership competencies in leadership development program curriculums. The population for this study were the 273 Level 1 institutions located in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges (SACS) accrediting region of the United States. A repeated measures ANOVA determined that all six of the AACC leadership competencies were present to some extent in participating in-house leadership programs. The AACC leadership competencies most emphasized were community college advocacy and professionalism. The least emphasized leadership competency category was resource management. The study found no statistically significant relationship between college size and presence of the AACC leadership competencies or between college geographic location and presence of the AACC leadership competencies. The components of transformational leadership expressed in the open-ended responses were shared vision, empowering others, understanding organization culture, rewarding innovation and change, and ethics. The study included secondary findings that described in-house leadership program characteristics. Suggestions for leadership program curriculums were made based on the study findings and the study concluded with recommendations for future research.

Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, several studies have confirmed that there is a leadership crisis among the nation's community colleges. In response to this leadership crisis, the American Association of Community Colleges [AACC] commissioned the development of a leadership competency framework consisting of six leadership competency areas deemed "either [grave]very' or [grave]extremely' essential to the effective performance of community college leaders." Since the release of this framework, limited research has been conducted on the importance of and the preparation in the identified competencies. The majority of research that has been conducted has focused on the position of president, even though there are several leadership positions within community colleges that are facing a leadership crisis. One such position is that of academic affairs officer. This study had two purposes. The first was to extend the research that has been conducted on the AACC leadership competencies by examining how community college academic affairs officers perceived the importance of and their own level of professional preparation in the identified competencies. The second was to examine the leadership development experiences that academic affairs officers identified as the most beneficial to their professional development as academic affairs officers. This study was a quantitative, descriptive, correlational design and used a questionnaire to collect data. The population for this study was academic affairs officers at public community colleges in the United States. The academic affairs officers that were included in the population were identified from the membership directory of the AACC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents leaders and aspiring leaders in community colleges with a theoretical and practical framework for analyzing their leadership styles, and determining the dimensions of leadership they need to improve in order to strengthen their capacity to resolve complex issues and effectively guide their institutions. It does so through presenting theories about leadership that are congruent with the notions of equity, access, diversity, ethics, critical inquiry, transformational change, and social justice that drive the missions of community colleges, and at the same time provides the reader with the strategic skills to prepare for and navigate the profound changes ahead.Readers will gain an understanding of how to use theory as a tool to guide their practice, better understand the intricacies of the issues confronting them, the power dynamics and organizational context in which they operate, predict potential outcomes, and develop processes to achieve desired outcomes. Utilizing theory in conjunction with case study analysis provides community college leaders with the tools needed to comprehensively interrogate and inform decision-making processes. The authors provide a number of rich and realistically complex case studies, all of which are situated in a community college environment, to which readers can apply the various theories and perspectives, develop their view about the principles and actions most likely to lead to satisfactory outcomes, and hone the approaches to leadership that are authentic to them, and effective. The authors aim to help readers develop the multi-faceted approach to leadership that is essential to running complex organizations. They aim to promote development of the "whole" leader through a three-fold framework of theory, practice, and introspection in context of institutional change. In doing so, leaders will be better equipped to lead community colleges in challenging times.The authors tie AACC's competencies to the leadership theories they cover, as well as to the analysis of the case studies, and leadership inventories, as an essential framework for developing the skill sets to enact the community college mission.The book is suitable for personal reading and reflection, institutional leadership retreats and training, and as a text for higher education courses.

Book excerpt: The development and availability of well-prepared leaders is vital to the continued success of community colleges and their students. Throughout its history, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) has made proactive leadership development a central focus of its mission. Now, that focus takes on even greater urgency as the level of turnover among community college leaders escalates dramatically. For this reason, AACC has worked to delineate a competency framework for today's and tomorrow's college leaders. The framework has wide utility for both individuals and institutions. It helps emerging leaders chart their personal leadership development progress. It provides program developers with curricular guidelines. Institutionally, it informs human resources departments with direction for staff recruitment, hiring, rewards, and professional development. This competency framework is intended as a "living document," evolving over time to meet changing human and institutional needs.

This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the foreword by Walter G. Bumphus, President & CEO of AACC: “Becoming an Equity-Centered Higher Education Institution is a significant contribution to the on-going struggle to find practical approaches to implementing an equity agenda in higher education.” The authors had three main goals for this text: Relevance: This book is the result of many years of teaching, leading, researching, and coaching individuals and institutions about equity inside higher education. The authors place a clear emphasis on awareness and teaching skills first, but also ensure that those skills are based on practical application in the field. Practical Application: To describe and explain equity and transformational change concepts, this book provides step-by-step implementation approaches that can be used to integrate equity-centered principles into practices and policies to implement or improve equity work into the organizational culture. A Purposeful Approach: The authors defined the act of becoming an equity-centered institution in terms of a transformational change approach using Kotter’s Eight-Stage Process. Kotter’s Model and AACC’s Leadership Competencies for Community College Leaders are introduced in Chapter 1 and integrated throughout the book. This integrated framework allows practitioners to place the intersectionality of equity, transformational change, and requisite leadership competencies into the larger context of higher education. While using Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, the authors emphasize that operations and situations inside higher educational institutions are not linear as implied in Kotter’s model. They show how the stages of change may occur at different times and different situations at different institutions, and demonstrate what leadership competencies are recommended for each stage in the change process.
