072: The Role of Transformational Leadership in Academic Institutions with Professor Jennie Shaw

Leadership means many things in academia. The good news is that with all the changes happening in the world, it’s an exciting time to be in higher education. The not-so-good news is that leadership in academia poses ethical and structural challenges that require a special set of capabilities.
