Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Reframing Academic Leadership
Joan V. Gallos · 2021
76/100
👍 Worth It
This one builds on the well-regarded Bolman and Deal four-frame model and updates it with real higher-ed issues like equity, funding pressure, and technology's double edge. It's written specifically for college and university administrators, so it's a niche fit, but a strong one if that's your world.
