Description
Practical Wisdom: Thinking Differently about College and University Governance This book offers practical insights to help boards enhance their governing practices. Written by experienced consultants and trustees, it draws on research into the dynamics of boards and real-world experience to provide a fresh perspective on how to improve governance. The authors' approach is not a "how-to" guide, but rather one that encourages readers to think more intentionally about their work. By adopting new ways of thinking, boards can add value to the institutions and state systems they govern. With thought-provoking titles and a conversational tone, this book aims to engage readers, prompt reflection on their work, and broaden their horizons. With its focus on practical wisdom, this book is ideal for trustees, administrative leaders, and anyone interested in improving governance in higher education.
