Description
The challenges facing higher education today demand a leadership style that is fast-moving, innovative, adaptive and collaborative-all characteristic traits of entrepreneurial success. In this ground-breaking book, Dr. M. Moshe Porat, dean of the Fox School of Business at Temple University, lays out the seven leadership principles that he and his team have used to transform Fox from an undistinguished institution into a research-intense Business School, an online, hybrid innovator that provides some of the best programs in business education worldwide. Porat's personal account of Fox School innovations, programs, and processes offers hope and guidance for any educational leader eager to cultivate an entrepreneurial ethos within higher education's bureaucratic culture and engrained traditions.
