What’s New
Joan received the David L. Bradford Outstanding Educator Award from the Management and Organizational Behavior Teaching Society for lifetime achievements and commitment to teaching and learning excellence. In presenting the award, the Society’s president commented, “As an academic leader and long-time member of the Society, Joan is someone to learn from and lean on when navigating the rough waters of higher education.” This award was special as Joan delivered the Bradford Address, “The Soul of Teaching,” on the occasion of the Society’s 50th anniversary in 2023.

The new second edition of Reframing Academic Leadership is out. The book is the go-to guide for deepening leadership commitment, capacity, and impact. Gallos and Bolman tease out the unique opportunities and challenges in academic leadership and present powerful ideas and tools to guide and assist college and university administrators in seeing new possibilities and moving their institutions forward. New chapters on ethics, governance, the changing context for higher education, and strategies for coping with a world in motion strengthen this edition’s usefulness and impact.
