Overview
This practical, evidence-based guide equips higher education leaders with the coaching skills they need to encourage and support faculty engagement, productivity, and satisfaction.
Drawing from research in neuroscience, faculty development, and the scholarship of coaching, this book focuses on three essential skill sets: assessment, setting an agenda, and keeping success going. This logical, easy-to-follow process will improve how academic leaders engage with faculty, thus resulting in more productive conversations and desired outcomes. Experienced seminar leader and academic coach Susan Robison imparts step-by-step guidance and provides plentiful exercises on how to listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, and co-create effective plans to set up faculty for success.
A powerful tool for department chairs, program directors, deans, provosts, and more, this book will become a well-used staple in any college leader’s library.
