Effective Academic Leadership: The Mission-Driven Approach

Biblical Higher Ed Talk

Effective academic leadership doesn’t have a specific outline.

But knowing your institution's mission and sticking to it is the first place to start.

Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses as a leader and being able to lean on a team for support to fill in the gaps is critical.

There’s no limit to who can be a leader. It’s about being the best leader for your institution.

Getting our conversation started is Meghan Griffin, Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Southeastern University. Meghan shares how trusting in God’s plan helped her become an effective leader for her school.
