PUNCHLINE:
Don't miss to read the observation by Nirmala Palaniappan, a Knowledge Manager, on another article that is about Leadership and change:
Vigilant vs. Operational Leaders, Thursday, September 21, 2006

I sort of liked this article as it tries to differentiate between mundane leadership and vigilant leadership. It is a story of risks and attitudes that encourage/discourage risk-taking and long-term thinking....reminds me of one more thing that I came across somewhere....it's about getting out of your comfort zone and seeing reality for what it is. Read the article

Recently the Commission on the Future of Higher Education issued a
report that sharply criticizes the current state of higher education in
the U.S., and it has received a great deal of attention and has
generated a lot of discussion. A pre-publication copy of the report: "A Test of Leadership: Charting the Future of U.S. Higher Education"

The online and printed resources listed below follow a three tier scholarly communications model: knowledge, new research information, and reference tools. Knowledge and New Information are partitioned into Content (reports, articles, books) and Finding Aids to content.

Six associations representing university groups have responded to the report, acknowledging the need for changes
