With acumen and a dash of humor, he shows leaders how they can take the focus off the negative and change what they say, their perspectives, and their strategies. This more constructive leadership style plays to the strengths of leaders rather than to the weaknesses of their institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering time-tested and fresh ideas for becoming the type of leader who acts as a coach, counselor, and conductor for faculty, staff, and students, Buller demonstrates how positive leadership can become a day-to-day practice. With its down-to-earth style, the book draws on the most current research on positive leadership in neuroscience, psychology, management, organizational behavior, and other disciplines and translates their lessons into readable and accessible recommendations. It then makes these recommendations come to life by providing real-world examples that illustrate how to implement positive leadership strategies in all spheres of the leader’s activities and institution.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePositive Academic Leadership \u003c\/i\u003eis a wise guide for transforming any leader’s attitude about inevitable daily crises into manageable challenges that are based on a philosophy of accepting the environment and situation but working to make things better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART ONE Exploring Positive Academic Leadership\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 What Positive Leadership Means 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Alternative Approaches to Academic Leadership 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Applying the Positive Leadership Model to Higher Education 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART TWO Positive Approaches for Yourself\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Positive Language 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Positive Perspectives 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Positive Strategies 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART THREE Positive Approaches for Faculty, Staff, and Students\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The Academic Leader as Coach 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Academic Leader as Counselor 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 The Academic Leader as Conductor 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART FOUR Positive Approaches for Higher Education as a Whole\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Positive Administration Throughout the Institution 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 The Crisis Industry and How Positive Leaders Should Respond to It 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Playing to Our Strengths 227\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 249\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Education [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Education\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Education%20%5BJN%5D%22\"\u003eJN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52475064320280,"sku":"9781118531921","price":33.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118531921.jpg?v=1785803969","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/positive-academic-leadership-how-to-stop-putting-out-fires-and-start-making-a-difference-hardback-9781118531921","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
