Abstract
(type = abstract)
This study examines presidential leadership in higher education by examining what senior executive leaders define as critical incidents. Specifically, this research explores these critical situations and seeks to identify competencies which are perceived to be present or absent in effective versus ineffective presidential leadership. The study also examines how these leadership competencies map to other competency models/studies in the literature. The research focuses specifically on four-year, private, non-profit, higher education institutions. This dissertation is framed into six chapters. Chapter I, Introduction, discusses the context of the study, its purpose, significance and rationale, and provides an overview of the plan for the study. Chapter II, Review of the Literature and Analysis, provides a discussion of the distinguishing characteristics of higher education, an overview of research regarding leadership theory and analysis of general theories’ applicability to leadership in the context of higher education. It also offers a review and discussion of the Competency Approach and its application to leadership in higher education. Chapter III, Methodology, provides a detailed explanation of the research questions and the methodological approach, including a discussion about the Critical Incident Technique (Flanagan, 1954), identification and selection of the participants, data collection, and data coding and analysis techniques. Chapter IV, Pilot Study, is an exploratory process to test the approach and methodology of the dissertation proposal and explores initial common themes which may arise during discussions of effective and ineffective presidential leadership in higher education institutions. Chapter V, Results, presents a summary of the findings from the study. Chapter VI, Discussion, provides a thorough examination of the results and includes future directions and identified limitations of the study.
