"The Higher Education Manager's Handbook offers practical advice and guidance on all aspects of the manager's role. Drawing on professional best practice and the examples of international university innovators, it tackles all the key areas central to the job of managing in higher education, from understanding the culture of your university and the role it plays, to providing effective leadership and managing change." |
