Description
The book provides a concise guide to how academic leaders can manage their time more efficiently and thus better cope with the stresses of their position. Rather than focusing on theory or the "causes" of time and stress pressures for college administrators today, the book focused on field-tested approaches for achieving more of one's priorities and for dealing with the pressures of academic leadership positions. (Academic leaders already know why they're running short of time and feeling stressed; they don't want more analysis and theory, but rather insights into how they can make things better.) The book is designed for use by individual academic leaders, administrative teams in a retreat, leadership workshops or training programs, and courses in higher education leadership.
