How to Build Great Leaders in Higher Education

Changing Higher Ed

Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Roger Hughes, President at Doane University, about the knowledge, qualities and skills that higher education leaders need to have.

Podcast Highlights

• Higher education leaders can come from a variety of backgrounds, including coaching. Leadership knowledge and skills can be transferred between different types of jobs.
• It's important to grow leaders. This can happen through creating an environment where the leadership team learns principle-based leadership that reflects the president's values.
• Leaders can be driven by ego or principles. The former makes leaders feel like they are indispensable; however, this philosophy can make it different for decisions to be made when the leader is not on campus. The principle-based leadership model not only solves this issue, but also helps grow a cadre of leaders at different levels of the organization.
