Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the managerial roles and organizational status of the chief business officer in North Carolina community colleges, with the intended purpose of better understanding how the roles are performed. This study is conceptually framed with the managerial role theory of Baker, which was based on the work of Mintzberg. As a qualitative research study, interviews developed through the constant comparison method were conducted with six community college chief business officers (CBOs) in North Carolina, based on the following research questions: 1. How do CBOs perceive their managerial roles? 2. How do the perceptions of the CBOs correspond to the perceptions of the president and chief academic officer in their respective college? 3. How do CBOs perceive their place and status in their college? 4. How do the CBOs feel their roles and place in their college have changed over the course of their tenure in the position? The study's results, triangulated through document analysis and interviews with the CBOs' respective presidents and chief academic officers, show the perceived roles the CBOs performed and their status in their colleges. Labels for the roles were initially based on Baker's model and modified by the descriptions of the CBOs, who saw their roles as divisional or institutional, with a hierarchy of roles in each category and sub-categories of peripheral roles, variable roles, and core roles. Resource manager, liaison, problem solver, monitor and information clearinghouse were identified as core to both the divisional and institutional roles, with negotiator, visionary, ambassador, and advocate seen as peripheral roles, while the CBO was not found to be an agent of institutional change. Experience and longevity were identified as factors that positively affected the CBO's status, while also increasing the importance of the advisor role. Implications from this study include opportunities to expand the study of the CBO position and functions, an.

Download or read book Leadership through Collaboration written by Ann S. Ferren and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004-02-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is organized around 11 topics, including the skills and personal qualities needed to provide effective academic leadership; strengthening the infrastructure for academic affairs through strategic planning, facilities planning, and technology integration; the importance of developing new resources and linking them to academic priorities; academic entrepreneurship; assessing academic quality and improving programs and services; continuous improvement; the central importance of investing in the faculty; and improving academic decisions. The chief academic officer must be the voice for the campus's academic purposes and a source of energy in supporting the activities of others. Collaboration with colleagues across the institution is key to Ferren and Stanton's approach. Their experiences in administrative roles, ranging from department chair to provost, have provided them with the ability to conduct and utilize many studies, including budget adequacy modeling and salary equity studies. These are issues for which the authors have been responsible for implementation and decision-making, allowing them to understand that collaborative processes and partnerships-such as chairs with deans, deans with vice presidents, faculty with administrators, or the CAO with members of the president's cabinet—are as important as informed decision-making. Because CAOs are less likely to read what business officers and vice presidents for administration read, this book attempts to integrate differing institutional perspectives and explain processes and criteria. CAOs can tailor their decisions to institution circumstances and solve problems with greater insight.

Book excerpt: "The role of the community college chief academic officer (CAO) is undergoing a significant change in the twenty-first century due to an evolving higher education environment. Community colleges are facing continuous enrollment declines, have fewer financial resources to draw upon, and are under an increasing amount of external pressure, leaving senior leaders with a new set of challenges. Simultaneously, women are moving into the role of the community college CAO at a faster pace than their counterparts at four-year institutions. The purpose of this interpretive phenomenological analysis was to examine the leadership experiences of women chief academic officers at community colleges within the State University of New York (SUNY) system. SUNY's 30 community colleges make up nearly half of its 64 campuses. Eight women, currently serving as a community college CAO, participated in this study through a semi-structured interview and were asked to describe their leadership experiences as a CAO. The Synergistic Leadership Theory served as the theoretical framework through which to view the participants' responses. This study found that the role of the community college CAO, with respect to the women who serve in it, is evolving and increasing in its responsibilities, identified essential skills needed by today's CAOs, indicated that the participant's viewed their gender as a challenge, discovered there is no CAO role-specific training, and noted the majority of these women are not pursuing a college presidency. Recommendations center on the need for: additional preparation for the role of CAO, an increase in national awareness about the current literature and trends on this population of leaders, further development of opportunities to support a transition to a college presidency, and updated curriculum within doctoral coursework and programs, particularly those aligned with community college leadership"--Author's abstract.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the role of the community college chief academic officer and to describe how CAOs define successful performance. It examined (a) experience candidates brought to the position; (b) job duties and responsibilities; (c) knowledge, skills, and abilities required; (d) challenges and barriers; (d) support systems; and (e) advice CAOs offer to others who aspire to the role. Five key areas of competency, identified as critical to successful performance, include competency in interpersonal dynamics, managerial operations, instruction and instructional design, capacity development, and collaborative leadership. These five areas provide the basis for a new leadership model, which is structured as an inverted pyramid with interpersonal dynamics, the most significant competency, at its apex. The model can be incorporated into a performance paradigm to demonstrate how CAO performance is affected by intervening factors and linked to the success of the college and its students. The model and paradigm confirm that the CAO is pivotal to the quality of instruction and the success of students and the college. The data reveal that CAOs tend to see themselves as facilitators and define their own success in terms of the successes of others. A major challenge is trying to balance their demanding jobs with their personal lives. Other challenges include dealing with declining state revenues, budget deficits, the state's funding formula for community colleges, changing technologies, and high employee-turnover rates. CAOs tend to rely upon each other and their networks for support and assistance, and they note that having a mentor is critical to advancing up the ladder of academe. Most accepted the CAO job to "make a difference" in the lives of students and the quality of instruction offered by their institutions. Their greatest reward lies in witnessing the success of students, faculty, staff, colleagues, and their institutions. Most had served in their positions longer than the national average, and most planned to remain in their instructional leadership roles. Only one aspired to a presidency, which is significant because CAOs constitute the most likely pool of candidates for the presidency.

Book excerpt: A go-to resource to help provosts, deans, presidents, and trustees effectively meet the challenges of leading a college or university. As the chief academic officer, the provost plays the central role in the contemporary university or college. He or she leads the faculty and serves as their key representative to the administration while simultaneously acting as the administration's spokesperson to the academic faculty. How has this essential leadership position evolved over the past few decades, and what are the best practices to adopt for succeeding in specific operational areas? In seventeen essays written by some of the most successful chief academic officers in the United States, The Provost's Handbook outlines key topics related to the changing environment of higher education while explaining what constitutes effective leadership at the college and university level. How, for example, does the provost lead in a time of disruption and shifting needs? What skills should he or she nurture in new faculty? What role should data and institutional research play in decision making? How can a provost navigate the often stormy situations of shared governance? These questions—and many more challenges presented by this role—are addressed in this essential volume. Assembled by James Martin and James E. Samels, accomplished authors and scholars of leadership in higher education, The Provost's Handbook is destined to become the go-to resource for deans, presidents, trustees, and chief academic officers everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Study Supervision? This book presents two compelling reasons to study supervision and supervisory leadership: Influential Position: Supervisors exert considerable influence on organizational settings. Supervisors have been schooled, developed, and trained for their responsibilities. They can function more effectively than if they learn through informal, sometimes haphazard means. It thus pays to learn about supervision because supervisors can influence how efficiently and effectively their organization functions. Career Path: Many career paths lead to supervision. Supervisors are everywhere. Supervisors are teachers, doctors, accountants, lawyers, plumbers, and electricians. If you aspire to advance within your occupation, you may find that one career path leads to supervision. Preparing for supervisory responsibilities can prepare you for advancement. You may thus have a personal stake – your own future – in learning about what supervisors do and how they do it. In addition, this book: Provides strategies for building solid relationships with team members. Uses positivity as a foundational practice to lead and encourage other employees. Provides guidelines on how to hold employees accountable and set high expectations. Presents strategies to engage, coach, and develop employees by creating a positive environment to influence attitudes and behaviors. Offers various approaches for managing time and increasing productivity.
