On Being Presidential: A Guide for College and University Leaders by Susan R. Pierce and Judith Block McLaughlin   On campuses and among trustees there is often a lack of understanding of what the president does (and should do), the larger issues facing the institution, and issues that the president grapples with on a daily basis. As a result, the faculty, administration, and the board can find themselves at odds over governance, which can paralyze institutions and lead to failed presidencies. This book provides presidents, senior administrators, faculty leaders, and trustees with a guide to fulfilling their responsibilities and recommendations to aspiring presidents about how they can best prepare for a successful presidency. Publisher: Jossey-Bass, 2011

While education works well for millions of learners, it doesn’t work for everyone. This book is also dedicated to finding the game changers that will help us move education to the next level, whether those game changers are information technology, new models, or institutional vision.   Publisher: EDUCAUSE, 2012
