These structures are often characterized by a rigid division of labor and an expectation that good managers can predict the outcomes of their efforts and can and should exercise control over the inputs. However, to be effective leaders, they must be able to perceive new possibilities beyond those structures and expectations. How can they do both?  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking Student Affairs Practice\u003c\/i\u003e offers an answer to that question. Love and Estanek challenge their readers to perceive their responsibilities, institutions, and relationships through multiple lenses. They have developed a model for change based in four concepts that will help their readers do this. The four concepts are valuing dualisms, transcending paradigms, recognizing connectedness, and embracing paradox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Conceptual Framework: Lessons from the New Science 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: Seeing Processes Differently: How We Work 27\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Pervasive Leadership 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Intrapreneurship: Pervasive Leadership in Action 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Developing an Assessment Mindset 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two: Seeing Resources Differently: What We Work With 119\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Rethinking Resources 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Technology as Brush, Paint, and Artist 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three: Seeing Beyond the Horizon: Emerging Competencies 171\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Adopting a Global Perspective 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Futures Forecasting 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Rethinking Reviewed: Mindsets and Actions 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 227\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":52410666549528,"sku":"9780787962142","price":30.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780787962142.jpg?v=1784247424","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/rethinking-student-affairs-practice-hardback-9780787962142","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
