As deans, we use the ‘Academic Leader’s Playbook’ in our weekly reflective practice and we share it with our chairs to encourage their own. The practical, relatable topics resonate deeply with my team and serve as a platform for deeper conversation about leadership, not just management.”

The Academic Leaders Playbook is a well-rounded, simple, crisp and short yet an in-depth understanding of academic leadership. I love the way it strings together the real-life situations, keen observations around academic leadership with great insights and a solution roadmap. As an academic leader and educationist with wide and deep experience, I find in it a relatable, relevant and reliable source of learning.
A truly refreshing and affirming read! I eagerly wait for its weekly editions.
