Community College Strategy: The Innovative Leader's Handbook

Across the United States, community college leaders are struggling to meet their lofty missions with fewer resources than ever before. They face this fiscal crisis with resilience and determination. In this book, Dr. Namuo answers the primary question driving his research: "How do we, as community college leaders, facilitate strategic success and innovation despite reduced financial resources?"

Using his experience as a community college leader, his year­long multi­site research study on community colleges and fiscal constraint, and other higher education research, Namuo provides a useful guide for community college leaders at all levels. Despite being rooted in rigorous academic research, this is not an overly technical book. This readable text provides information on the comprehensive mission of today's modern community colleges, the external forces that exert pressure on them, and specific strategies for community college leaders.

Community College Strategy will not only inspire readers, but also provide new tools and perspectives for leaders who wish to move their institutions in positive and sustainable strategic directions.
