Academic Leadership
- Share to:
Academic leadership is critical in higher education because it has an impact on the
quality of student learning (Ramsden, Prosser, Trigwell, & Martin, 2007). Academic
leadership is also complex and challenging. Many academics (e.g., Academic
Coordinators), may not see themselves as leaders in the traditional sense. This often
stems from a lack of formal authority or line management over other academics that
deliver the course/program. However, leadership is also about inspiring individuals
without necessarily using force or power. Through their work, leaders need to be able to
influence, motivate, and inspire others to follow. As Academic Coordinators, you have
this responsibility. You must build relationships and use your influence to get your peers
to deliver on program outcomes and quality. In other words, as Academic Coordinators
you must consider yourselves leaders in the roles you occupy. This is becoming more
important as work is delegated and distributed in flattened organisational structures of
most universities
