Reframing Academic Leadership is the first book I’ve encountered that explicitly offers practical advice on how to manage conflicts and difficult situations in academia.

I appreciated the authors’ explorations of the issues academic leaders encounter and the frameworks they provide for thinking and working through those challenges. I left the book more interested in academic leadership than ever, not because it’s easy or because there’s a formula for success, but because it’s challenging, dynamic, and impactful.

I read this as part of my ACE Fellowship. Of the volumes of reading that was required, this book, by far was the best read of them all. It’s incredibly logical, really speaks to the state of higher ed today and how to navigate it. Very well written and easy to read. I think I need to re-visit it!
