Rather than requiring you to devote days or even weeks to administrative training (which may prove to be of little use in the end), this manual gives you no-nonsense suggestions that you can consider on even your busiest days. Experiment with the suggestions made each day, discover what works for you, and then build on your successes for the benefit of your institution and its programs. Significant improvements often result from small, gradual, and consistent efforts, and \u003ci\u003eAcademic Leadership Day by Day\u003c\/i\u003e is your guide to becoming a more accomplished, confident academic leader a few minutes at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eACADEMIC LEADERSHIP DAY BY DAY \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEVERY DAY ACADEMIC LEADERS face desks, inboxes, and schedules stuffed full of meetings, emails, complaints, committees, requests, and the occasional crisis--all competing for scarce time and attention.
