    About this ebook

    Initiate innovation and get things done with a guide to the process of academic change

    Change Leadership in Higher Education is a call to action, urging administrators in higher education to get proactive about change. The author applies positive and creative leadership principles to the issue of leading change in higher education, providing a much-needed blueprint for changing the way change happens, and how the system reacts. Readers will examine four different models of change and look at change itself through ten different analytical lenses to highlight the areas where the current approach could be beneficially altered. The book accounts for the nuances in higher education culture and environment, and helps administrators see that change is natural and valuable, and can be addressed in creative and innovative ways.

    The traditional model of education has been disrupted by MOOCs, faculty unions, online instruction, helicopter parents, and much more, leaving academic leaders accustomed to managing change. Leading change, however, is unfamiliar territory. This book is a guide to being proactive about change in a way that ensures a healthy future for the institution, complete with models and tools that help lead the way. Readers will:

    • Learn to lead change instead of simply "managing" it
    • Examine different models of change, and redefine existing approaches
    • Discover a blueprint for changing the process of change
    • Analyze academic change through different lenses to gain a wider perspective

    Leading change involves some challenges, but this useful guide is a strong conceptual and pragmatic resource for forecasting those challenges, and going in prepared. Administrators and faculty no longer satisfied with the status quo can look to Change Leadership in Higher Education for real, actionable guidance on getting change accomplished.

      The title "Change Leadership in Higher Education" expresses the dual focus of Jeffrey Buller’s new book. Buller describes processes for leading change in colleges and universities. He also argues that how leadership is exercised in higher education needs to change. Both focuses are linked in Buller’s opinion. He argues that change efforts in higher education have largely failed because university and college leaders have adopted change processes designed for the hierarchical structures of business and the military. Such processes are not applicable to the decentralized structures of higher education institutions. Buller puts forth a detailed and convincing case for why faith in revered processes such as strategic planning and change management is misplaced. He goes on to propose specific methodologies that are more effective and analyzes case studies of university and college change initiatives to make his case. This book is essential reading for anyone striving to implement change in higher education. The book is also recommended to those outside of higher education who are responsible for initiating organizational change. Buller challenges many of the long held practices of change management and describes how to move to change leadership.
