Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current leaders in community colleges are approaching retirement. Senior administrators and faculty members are projected to retire in vast numbers creating a leadership shortage in community colleges. To address the shortage, Grow Your Own (GYO) leadership development programs are supported by literature as a primary solution. The purpose of this research was to describe success factors for implementing GYO leadership development programs in community colleges. This study investigated the behaviors or actions necessary to implement a GYO leadership development program, pros and cons related to implementation, confidence to implement, and the change processes utilized to facilitate implementation. Interviewed were 10 program coordinators who represented 19 community colleges in Texas and states in the Middle Atlantic Region of the United States (Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia). The success factors that emerged were (a) support, (b) research, (c) development, and (d) appraisal. Support refers to obtaining assistance from within and outside the college. Research involves benchmarking other GYO programs and identifying instructional objectives. Development refers to developing the instructional strategy used to achieve objectives and selecting the instructional material to facilitate GYO learning. Appraisal refers to assessing the effectiveness of the program during application as well as assessing the program effectiveness post program application. The findings in this study offer preliminary evidence of success factors and strategies for implementing a GYO leadership development program in community colleges.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the shared, lived experience of graduates participating in a Grow-Your-Own (GYO) leadership development program at a comprehensive community college with several campuses and educational centers. There is a noted, growing shortage of talented community college leaders needed to address the complex challenges faced by community colleges across the country. This leadership shortage is attributed to an increased number of retirements among community college leaders and a lack of community college leadership development through either university doctoral programs or national professional associations. With GYOs identified as the preferred method of developing emerging community college leaders, it is important to understand the lived experience of participants in GYO programs. The study used an inductive approach to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. From data analysis, three themes emerged to describe the shared lived experience of GYO program participants, including: (a) the value of connectedness, which participants expressed as "being a part of"; (b) understanding how leaders should be developed; and, (c) how participants perceived the impact of their leadership role on college processes, students, and subordinates. At the very center of the phenomenon under study was the essence--connections--which guided policy and practice recommendations. This essence of connections was explored through participants' connection to: (a) colleagues, college leaders, and the institution; (b) the GYO program and how participants perceived and connected to their personal development; and, (c) participants' ability to impact others within the institution. Concluding the study, two inferences were suggested: (a) GYO program structure may assume recruiting participants with a requisite level of confidence needed to lead within the community college; and, (b) an individual's perception of leadership considers a leaders' ability to move projects through the college's internal system. Recommendations for practice include the development of programming dedicated to leaders with more than 10 years of leadership experience and the integration of programming to develop, cultivate, and maintain relationships into the GYO curriculum. Policy recommendations included the development of degree programs or coursework on community college leadership at the university level and implementation of community college GYO programs to address the leadership gap.

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.

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: Preparing Principals for a Changing World provides a hands-on resource for creating and implementing effective policies and programs for developing expert school leaders. Written by acclaimed author and educator Linda Darling-Hammond and experts Debra Meyerson, Michelle LaPointe, and Margaret Terry Orr, this important book examines the characteristics of successful educational leadership programs and offers concrete recommendations to improve programs nationwide. In a study funded by the Wallace Foundation, Darling-Hammond and the team examined eight exemplary principal development programs, as well as state policies and principals' experiences across the country. Using the data from the study, they reveal how successful programs are structured, the skills and knowledge participants gain, and what they are able to do in practice as school leaders as a result. What do these exemplary programs have in common? Aggressive recruitment; close ties with schools in the community; on-the-ground training under the wing of expert principals, and a strong emphasis on the cutting-edge theories of instructional and transformational leadership. In addition to highlighting the programs' similarities, the study also explains the differences among the programs and sheds light on the effectiveness of approaches and models from different states and contexts?East, West, North, and South; urban and rural; pre-service and in-service. The authors analyze program outcomes for principals and their schools, including illustrative case studies and educators' voices on the influence of programs' strategies for recruitment, internships, mentoring, and coursework. The ideas and suggestions outlined in Preparing Principals for a Changing World are presented with the goal of increasing the number of highly qualified, thoughtful, and innovative educational leaders.

Download or read book Community College Leadership written by Pamela L. Eddy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 208 pages. 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.
