I re-read this book for the higher ed leadership course I’m teaching this summer. I was afraid it would not have aged well, but it is still relevant for today-full of sound thinking and practical advice.

Excellent first-ground book, in which the authors have taken a clear and careful assessment of the ingredients, and obstacles, to cross-functional, interdisciplinary Universities.
