Summary "Conversational in tone and providing highly practical advice for new deans, Reflections of a Rookie Dean: Lessons from the First Year chronicles the experiences of a novice college leader. Providing aspiring and new deans with insight and direction into the job of leading a college, this book is well positioned to help new leaders develop a better understanding of leadership in higher education and the challenges that new deans face. Deans, who function as middle managers in higher education, face a distinctive set of challenges. They are responsible for leading their college, implementing shared strategies, and motivating staff. But, they are also expected to enact the vision of senior leadership and mobilize support for broader institutional goals. To be successful, they must be skilled at managing both up and down the institutional hierarchy."--Publisher's description
