Drawing on research into the role of full or chair professors, this book argues that it is important to define and reclaim intellectual leadership as a counter-weight to the prevailing managerial culture of higher education. It contends that professors have been converted into narrowly defined knowledge entrepreneurs and often feel excluded or marginalised as leaders by their own universities. To fulfil their role professors need to balance the privileges of academic freedom with the responsibilities of academic duty. They exercise their academic freedom as critics and advocates but they also need to be mentors, guardians, enablers and ambassadors. Four orientations to intellectual leadership are identified: \u003cem\u003eknowledge producer, academic citizen, boundary transgressor\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eand public intellectual\u003c\/em\u003e. These orientations are illustrated by reference to the careers of professors and show how intellectual leadership can be better understood as a transformational activity. This book tackles the question of what intellectual leadership actually is and analyses the questions most frequently associated with the role of senior academics, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can intellectual leadership be distinguished from other forms of leadership and management?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can professors balance their responsibilities both within and beyond the university?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can universities make better use of the expertise of professors as leaders?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt concludes with recommendations for senior institutional managers on how to make more effective use of the expertise and leadership potential of the senior professoriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBruce Macfarlane\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor for Higher Education at the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 02, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45340687007846,"sku":"9780415560825","price":96.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/aEd2ZUNrbU82VXhVWmFWY0NzQTZ2QT09.webp?v=1774795762","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/intellectual-leadership-in-higher-education-renewing-the-role-of-the-university-professor-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
