Annotation: As embarrassing reports of misconduct and wrongdoing in the highest offices of our universities and colleges continue to circulate, it is important to step back and ask a couple of fundamental questions. What should leaders stand for? And what are the ideals that will enable them to design climates which nurture the potential of their colleagues, students, and other constituents? Arguing that effective leadership is as much a test of character as a test of intellect, E. Grady Bogue identifies the ideals that are essential to successful leadership in colleges and universities. Bogue explains how values shape a leader's realities, and he shows how leadership is a conceptual, moral, and performing art form: built on ideas and ideals, as well as a solid philosophical and empirical foundation, and perfected in practice. Bogue also examines the literature on effective leadership and offers illustrations from diverse settings, along with anecdotes from his personal experience, that show how knowledge, values, and skill must be integrated in the effective leader. These examples, which highlight honor, dignity, candor, compassion, courage, and other leadership qualities, provide a rich source of ideas for the development and improvement of leadership in higher education.
