- About
Role of Leaders in Managing Higher Education highlights the importance of leaders in educational institutions. Showcasing a richly diverse authorship, the collection discusses the autonomy of faculty members based on bonds created through ethics, the style of leadership, and the concept of democracy and social justice.
Emphasizing that higher educational institutions need to look beyond regular extrinsic motivators to ensure employee engagement to mentor students effectively, the chapters also explore the concept of the glass ceiling and regressive cultures that poses impediments to women as leaders in universities and other educational institutions.
