Read it cover to cover. Many good insights and I love that the end of each chapter has references to other works relevant to the topic. Highly recommend for new or experienced Deans/Provosts ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived on time *by O***K on April 14, 2019* Great book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worthy of Your Time and Bookshelf Space *by M***W on February 15, 2016* The vice principal who served as advisor of my high school debate team would have loved this book. Not because it is packed with information and effective guidance, but because this material is carefully organized for speedy access and clear comprehension. Her mantra, which likely is shared among the time-starved who perennially manage with a high degree of effectiveness, was that resources are only helpful if you can drill to their essence immediately.The book is arranged in seven clusters, ranging from the nature of academic leadership and the ecosystem of the college or university to the budget of the college/university and the opportunities and challenges of being an academic leader.If you are new to a school and/or are taking on a new position, you likely will find it beneficial to read the first two sections of this book in their entirety. The information and scenarios covered in these first 195 pages provide both primer and checklists as you work to build your practice and develop new habits and ways of thinking.If you are new to administration, it would be ideal to read the book cover to cover, but you may need to tackle that over the course of a semester or longer so that you can give the sections your undivided attention. While beneficial when read in sequence, the other five sections and the subsections can be dipped into as needed.The title of each subsection gives a clear idea of its scope; and the headings within each subsection article reinforce important concepts. Each of these bite-size subsections provides information targeted at specific challenges and situations. A conclusion and list of references at the end of each subsection help you self-check your comprehension and take-aways, and provide resources in case you need to delve more deeply into a specific area.My only nitpick is with the physical construction of this book. It clearly is meant as an ongoing reference, and yet the cover and spine probably will not withstand heavy use. I commend Jossey-Bass for not skimping on the size of the body type and reducing page count, but do wish it had chosen a sturdier cover and binding, even if doing so had meant a slightly higher price point.Therefore, I would suggest that you plan to reinforce at least the corners and the spine of the paperbound version, especially if this book will be a shared resource in your office or staff library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/19092401-the-essential-academic-dean-or-provost-a-comprehensive-desk-reference](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/19092401-the-essential-academic-dean-or-provost-a-comprehensive-desk-reference) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
