Making Change

Here is an insightful work - part autobiography and part practical guide -- about working as a change-agent in higher education. In this thought-provoking book the author shares what he has learned over his life that seems particularly useful, at least in his experience, for aspiring change-agents? The author organizes these experiences into seven themes, each of which is explored in a single chapter: development, change, systems, vision, motivation, arcs, and balance. The chapters follow a pattern of integrating ideas and experience, theory and practice that the reader will find useful and engaging. "With unwavering frankness, the author reveals what works and too often doesn't work at American universities, and he offers real-life solutions that have been earned through years of experience." - Timothy M. Renick, Vice Provost and Professor, Georgia State University.
