Learning-Centred Leadership in Higher Education: Sustainable Approaches to the Challenges and Responsibilities

St. Clair, Ralf

This book explores the implications of focusing learning in university leadership. While a range of external and internal factors push contemporary higher education leaders towards a reactive and transactional style, the author argues that placing learning at the centre of the decision-making process ultimately grounds higher education leadership in values. Illustrated by numerous case studies and informed by Peter Senge’s theory of learning, the author examines this central thesis across a variety of areas and functions of higher education that are vital to the development and success of this shared endeavour. This book will be of interest and value to both new and established university leaders, as well as scholars of leadership in higher education more generally.
