Summary

Lead or Leave provides a checklist of what works and what does not work for those wanting to lead colleges and universities in the 21st century and those with responsibility for the oversight of those institutions. Importantly, this book also seeks to keep educators on a morally straight course. Aimed at presidents and trustees (as well as those who aspire to those positions), Lead or Leave is a valuable guide for anyone concerned about institutions of higher education in the United States.
