This book provides foundational thoughts on situations where deans find themselves when managing up, managing their peers and themselves, or managing down. The case studies and scenarios are useful for thinking about problems or issues beforehand and for considering how other deans handled these situations, even if the specifics or eventual resolutions are different.
While there will be differences in every situation, each case or scenario provides situational insights. Collectively, they represent a range of experiences from many deans and cover a variety of both public and private institutions.
