Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the immense growth of community colleges since the 1960s and particularly over the last decade, a leadership gap now exists as presidents, provosts, and deans retire in record numbers. This diminished leadership pipeline can be attributed to two main factors: the obvious increase in retirement of senior executives completing their academic careers and a subsequent decrease of qualified successors capable of handling the expanding and diverse complexities associated with present-day community college leadership. While positions become available, the likelihood of finding willing and capable executive leaders is dwindling. Some leaders have acquired experience by moving through the ranks of the higher education system, enabling them to be effective leaders at each successive level. Others have participated in either doctoral programs specific to community colleges or other external professional development programs, thus fortifying them with a viable leadership repertoire. Recent efforts to counteract this leadership gap, however, are the creation of campusbased leadership development programs at community colleges to literally assist administrators in "growing your own" leaders. A corollary intent is to fortify a new leadership pipeline within the two-year system. These "academies" or "institutes" are committed to honing leadership expertise, providing comprehensive knowledge of an institution or system, and fostering a breadth of understanding of the community college sector. This study is a qualitative analysis comparing three campus-based leadership development programs and their impact on leadership capacity as perceived by program graduates. What components of a community college leadership academy contribute most to both an understanding and practice of leadership? After completing a campus-based leadership program, how do graduates now define leadership and what do they identify as the most effective competencies for a community college leader? For those developing or improving community college leadership programs, what thematic components are most critical to optimize an understanding and practice of leadership? This research provides comprehensive interviews with program graduates to supply valuable interpretations and data collection on the best practices of campus-based community college leadership programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University-based community college leadership programs are meeting not only student needs but also the needs within their states. This report from the American Association of Community Colleges' (AACC's) Leading Forward initiative highlights strategies and practices of six new programs, formed since 2000, that are breaking tradition through their use of flexible scheduling, innovative delivery methods, and strong partnerships among universities, community colleges, and others concerned with developing community college leaders. The insights and lessons discussed in this report should assist both college leaders and policymakers as they continue to tackle the critical task of nurturing and developing strong and effective leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary focus of this research report is on university-based degree programs that prepare individuals for leadership positions in community colleges. Issues related to the preparation and development of faculty are also an important component of the personnel challenges facing community colleges. To bring greater focus to this discussion, the following definition of community college leadership development is offered: leadership development implies personal and professional growth, expanding the capacity to sustain, grow, and transform organizations dedicated to teaching, learning, and community development. This is accomplished in three distinct ways: university-based degree programs, professional and continuing education, and personal self-development. Argued here is that all constituencies of the community college have a vested interest in the success of each of these distinct means of developing leaders. To realize this success, partnerships must be formed between the community colleges and their colleagues in the independent sector, state and federal governments, and the universities themselves.

This book was released on 2000-10-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many problems that plague modern American society, including disappearance of community, decaying inner cities, racial tensions, environmental degradation, declining civic engagement, and the increasing ineffectiveness of government, to name a few, are in many respects problems of leadership. Leadership means not only what elected and appointed public officials do, but also the critically important civic work performed by those individual citizens who are actively engaged in making a positive difference in society. Clearly, one of the major problems with contemporary civic life in America is that too few of our citizens are actively engaged in efforts to effect positive social change. Educators seldom acknowledge higher education's possible contribution to these problems or the role that it might play in alleviating them. Colleges and universities provide rich opportunities for developing leaders through the curriculum and co-curriculum. Co-curricular experiences not only support and augment the students' formal classroom and curricular experience, but can also create powerful learning opportunities for leadership development through collaborative group projects that serve the institution or the community. These projects can be implemented through service learning, residential living, community work, and student organizations. In the first section, Alexander W. Astin and Helen S. Astin, two of the most influential authors in education and co-principal investigators for the research team that devised Social Change Model of Leadership Development, share their insights on the model they helped create. Also in this section, other leading theoreticians offer provocative and challenging insights into non-hierarchical leadership. The second section features case studies and other examples from the practical realm. Contributions come from a wide array of programs and institutions, from community colleges to Ivy League institutions to urban public universities. Because campuses are increasingly diverse, leadership programs must not only acknowledge but embrace the multiplicity of identities personified in their students. Accordingly, the next section offers essays and case studies on complex issues of intersection of leadership and identity. The book concludes with two chapters essential for those seeking to access leadership development: one focusing on the need for assessment, the other containing an account of the first-ever instrument designed specifically to access non-hierarchical leadership, written by the creator of this instrument.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-year colleges are facing major change. The majority will undergo a turnover in college presidencies in the next ten years, at a time when they are being asked to be engines for economic growth, enable more students – and a greater diversity of students – to gain 21st century qualifications, and provide a pathway to higher degrees, all with reduced state and local funding. Recognizing that future community college leaders – at all levels– will manage increasingly complex organizations, and face very different challenges than their predecessors, this book provides a multidimensional model of leadership suited to these new demands and environments. The model addresses issues of leader cognition, race and gender, the importance of culture, and the need for more collaborative modes of communication and decision making to frame and implement change. It recognizes that there is no longer any one way to lead, and that the next generation of leaders will be more diverse, possess experience and qualifications from a wider variety of careers, and follow new pathways to their positions. Leaders in the future will possess a cultural competency that is fostered by being lifelong learners.Through over 75 individual interviews with leaders and campus members, Eddy is able to provide examples of the model’s components in practice and to illuminate which experiences proved the most relevant for these leaders on their route to upper administration. She shows how her model intersects with the leadership competencies defined by the American Association of Community Colleges, and proposes strategies for future leadership development. This book is intended for anyone considering a leadership position, at any level, in a community college; for college administrators and boards responsible for leadership development programs; and for individuals in corresponding organizations who conduct training programs for aspiring leaders. Likewise, those employed at four-year universities may find value in the model as a developmental tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community college professional development programs can be dynamic forces in helping community colleges address significant issues, create solutions for change, and create opportunities for renewal. This issue examines the challenges and rewards of creating an effective professional development program. Editor Gordon E. Watts, professor of higher education at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, brings together the research and findings of scholars in the fields of higher education and economics as well as the perspectives of professionals in staff and organizational development at community colleges and community based organizations. Beginning with an overview of the ongoing need for professional development in the community college, its current status, its struggles to become institutionalized as a function in the community college, the issue offers a much needed perspective on professional development's expanding role and that challenges that it continues to face. Chapter authors illustrate how their institutions have addressed issues through professional development, created institutional change, developed new delivery systems for professional development, reached beyond development just for faculty, and found new uses for traditional development activities. Faculty development programs examined include orientation programs for new faculty members and programs that address the specific needs of part-time faculty. An analysis of an innovative online faculty development delivery system for both new and part-time faculty is presented along with positive outcomes of the program's implementation at two separate institutions. Another chapter explores the emergence of teaching and learning centers as catalysts for effective faculty development and institutional change. Addressing campus development needs beyond faculty, other chapters examine staff development programs that include administration and classified staff as well as comprehensive programs that address professional development across the campus. The highly successful "great teacher" model for faculty development is revisited with descriptions of how the Great Teachers Seminars model can be taken a step further and successfully applied to classified, administration, and organizational development initiatives. As senior staff and faculty move toward retirement in greater numbers, potential shortages in leadership create the need for effective professional development at leadership levels. Evolution of the Presidents Academy, an innovative professional development program for newly appointed presidents, is examined in detail. Also explored is the need and importance of a renewed focus on leadership development overall and how leadership development strategies can be strengthened to ensure a continuous supply of well-trained community college leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many challenges face community; technical, and junior colleges as they prepare for the 21st century. The more than 1,400 community colleges in the United States and Canada are led by approximately 14,000 academic deans and department heads, each of whom must balance the demands of the students, faculties, sponsors, community, and the college itself. As college enrollments increase, so do responsibilities, problems, and stress. Fur-ther stress will come to bear upon com-munity colleges in the next decade, when 40% of their academic leaders are expected to retire. There is justifiable concern about the identification, recruitment, and preparation of individuals to assume vacant leadership positions. Academic Leadership in Community Colleges provides the neces-sary touchstones and guidelines for per-sons within institutions preparing for new leadership. Written by professional educators, this book is based on a survey of 3,000 deans and department heads in community col-leges in the United States and Canada. The survey disclosed the broad variety of responsibilities, organizational structures, and developmental strategies exercised by academic leaders in community colleges from coast to coast. The research was conducted by the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and supported by the National Community College Chair Academy. Introductory chapters present compara-tive information about community col-leges: their various missions, instructional units, and demographic situations. Other chapters focus on the beliefs and values, tasks, skills, competition, and challenges that greet academic leaders. Readers will find useful strategies for confronting frequent problems and procedures for achieving greater college cohesion and efficiency.

Book excerpt: Anticipate, manage, and overcome the complex issues facing community colleges Practical Leadership in Community Colleges offers a path forward through the challenges community colleges face every day. Through field observations, reports, news coverage, and interviews with leaders and policy makers, this book digs deep into the issues confronting college leaders and provides clear direction for managing through the storm. With close examination of both emerging trends and perennial problems, the discussion delves into issues brought about by changing demographics, federal and state mandates, public demand, economic cycles, student unrest, employee groups, trustees, college supporters, and more to provide practical guidance toward optimal outcomes for all stakeholders. Written by former presidents, including a past president of the American Association of Community Colleges, this book provides expert guidance on anticipating and managing the critical issues that affect the entire institution. Both authors serve as consultants, executive coaches, and advisors to top leaders, higher education institutions, and leadership development programs throughout the United States. Community colleges are facing increasingly complex issues from both without and within. Some can be avoided, others only mitigated—but all must be managed, and college leaders must be fully prepared or risk failing the students and the community. This book provides real-world guidance for current and emerging leaders and trustees seeking more effective management methods, with practical insight and expert perspective. Tackle the college completion challenge and performance-based funding initiatives Manage through economic cycles, declining support, and calls for accountability Delve into the issues of privatization and employee unionization Execute strategies to align institutional goals and mission Manage organizational change and new ways of thinking that are essential in today's competitive environment Manage issues involving diversity, inclusiveness, and equity Prepare adequately for campus emergencies Community colleges are the heartbeat of the nation's higher education system, and bear the tremendous responsibility of serving the needs of a vast and varied student body. Every day may bring new issues, but effective management allows institutions to rise to the challenge rather than falter under pressure. Practical Leadership in Community Colleges goes beyond theory to provide the practical guidance leadership needs to more effectively lead institutions to achieve results and serve the students and the community.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine a community college district Grow Your Own (GYO) leadership program in the Western United States, the Multi College Leadership Development Institute (MCLDI). The MCLDI was developed in-house for a multi-campus community college district and offered to interested employees at all position levels with the intent to provide them the opportunity to develop and enhance their leadership skills and abilities. While most leadership development literature has focused on the presidential role or other senior level positions, the aim of MCLDI is to support leadership development in general; not just for senior level positions, but for mid-level management and academic position leadership as well. This study gathered the perspectives of all those involved, from the leaders who created the program and their experience in doing so, to the program participants and graduates. Providing the different perspectives allows for other campuses to draw from the benefits and challenges that are shared in creating their own program or for comparison to programs that already exist. A qualitative case study approach was utilized to investigate MCLDI and its development, implementation, and the benefits and challenges experienced by the coordinators and participants. Three themes were identified from analyzing across data sources. Building organizational capacity, developing human capital, and program structure emerged throughout the data collected from interviews, observations, and document analysis and were reflected in the findings for each of the research questions.

Book excerpt: Community colleges across the nation are facing a critical void in leadership during a time of unprecedented budget constraints due to the retirements of baby boomer presidents and vice presidents who started their careers in the 1960s and 1970s. Results from the Career and Lifestyles Survey indicated that 84% of the community college presidents across the nation planned to retire by 2016. The leadership development options that currently exist to train future community college leaders include university-based educational programs (Ed. D. and Ph. D.), short-term conferences and workshops, and internal succession planning "grow your own" (GYO) programs. Succession planning programs known as GYO programs emerged in the early 2000s as a strategy to recruit employees who are interested in career advancement into the leadership pipeline and prepare them for leadership positions. This study explores the results of a GYO succession planning program in recruiting and preparing employees for career advancement. A qualitative case study was conducted to gain an in-depth understanding of the GYO program participants' experiences in the program, the impact of the program on their career advancement behaviors, and the effectiveness of the program in filling the leadership pipeline. The American Association of Community Colleges Competencies for Community College Leaders and two of Malcolm Knowles' assumptions on andragogy were used as theoretical frameworks to guide investigation of the GYO program. This study is intended to inform community college leaders, those professionals who create leadership development programs, and aspiring leaders about the status of one GYO program.
