Community College Leadership and Administration: Theory, Practice, and Change

by J. Luke Wood, Carlos Nevarez

This book, a training tool for the 21st-century community college leader and administrator, deconstructs outdated practices and constructs new approaches to how contemporary community college leadership is viewed, practiced, and envisioned. Both timely and comprehensive, the book develops new models that are focused on facilitating leadership innovation, and encourages both formal and informal leaders to become active agents for change. A relevant case study, written by an experienced community college leader, follows each chapter. This book will be useful for courses in administration, leadership, management, and related areas, and presents contemporary skills for anyone who is a leader and/or administrator in an organization.

Some helpful information, but I didn't feel as if I learned much someone in the community college system doesn't already know.

[Jack Korpob]

The book provides a survey of topics important to community colleges, but it doesn't go into detail. I appreciate case studies, but I didn't like the case studies in this book at all.

Very bad editing: lots of grammar issues. It was quite distracting.
