Leadership, Value, and Stability in Uncertain Times
One of the most damaging mistakes higher ed leaders can make during times of uncertainty is to focus solely on output while neglecting the human experience of change. Leaders can recalibrate policies, redirect structures, accelerate strategic plans, and shift budgets.
