Crisis Leadership for Boards and Presidents
This new how-to guide is designed to enable boards of trustees and presidents to lead their institutions through major crises. Terrence MacTaggart, PhD describes the kinds of crises common in higher education and offers practical advice to boards and leaders on how to anticipate crises, how to prepare for the unavoidable ones, and how to manage or navigate crises once they emerge. The key takeaway: make the best use of the situation to build a more alert, sensitive, and resilient board and leadership culture moving forward.
