Leadership in Place: How Academic Professionals Can Find Their Leadership Voice

"[This book] will help academics justify reengagement and recommitment to their institutions and to the good to which they instinctively know they should be dedicated."
—David W. Leslie, Chancellor Professor of Education, The College of William and Mary

"Leadership in Place provides ground-breaking insights into the practice of leadership in higher education. The constraints on authority in cultures that select for people who place a premium on their own autonomous research and teaching pose special demands for leadership, and Wergin's volume sheds penetrating light into these challenges. An immensely practical book."
—Ronald A. Heifetz, King Hussein Bin Talal Lecturer in Public Leadership, and Co-Founder, Center for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
