Summary "Out in Front provides college and university presidents, especially the new as well as the aspiring, with insight on how to be the public face of the institution. While many programs and books provide opportunities for developing leadership skills, very little is available on just what is involved in being the one person that everyone immediately associates with the school." "For many presidents, this ends up being a kind of trial by fire experience. This book fills that gap by providing firsthand insights from sitting presidents on how to deal with some of the most pressing day-to-day situations that leaders in higher education face."--BOOK JACKET
