Abstract

The widespread adaptation of strategic leadership is a result of its successful synthesis of the short-term financial benefits of a conservative managerial approach and the long-term financial growth of an innovative visionary approach. Many have suggested strategic leadership as the approach of choice for the sector of higher education, which has been facing problems with student retention, financial and time pressures, and perceived loss of the value-added of a college degree. This chapter examines how the application of the strategic leadership approach can facilitate collaborative, engaging, authentic learning in institutions of higher education.
