What leadership qualities are required to successfully lead universities in today's global environment?
Colleges and universities are not much different from any other organizational system, where effective educational leadership is needed to develop and train a new generation of leadership. I recommend the historical and traditional perspective of Abraham Lincoln, a list of qualities that can be honored in any global faculty member-leader:
1) Listen to different view points from others
2) Ability to learn of the job
3) Ready Willingness to share credit for success
4) Ready willingness to share failure as a team
5) Awareness of own weaknesses
6) Ability to control emotions
7) Know how to relax and replenish
8) Go out into the field and manage directly
9) Strength to adhere to fundamental goals
and finally 10) Ability to communicate goals and vision
