Paul Ramsden
'At last - a thoughtful and well-crafted guide to effective
departmental leadership in universities! ... a useful sourcebook
for heads of academics departments. It should be invaluable to new
heads and will also offer experienced heads fresh insights and
opportunities for reflection on their leadership role.' - Studies
in Higher Education
'This is a sharply focussed and highly current text which will
serve to ground the area of academic leadership in something more
than trial and error!' - Ms. Hilary Dyer, Chester University
College
'Ramsden is to be congratulated for this committed and passionate
intervention in a vital educational arena that is clearly set to
become increasingly important and contested in our current
political milieu.' - ESCalate
