The Role of Mentorship in the Preparation and Success of University Presidents
Briscoe, Kaleb L.; Freeman, Sydney, Jr.
Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning, v27 n4 p416-438 2019
The purpose of this study was to explore the role of mentoring and how it shapes university presidents in higher education. Using phenomenological case studies to understand the lived experiences of university presidents, we analyzed data from eleven interviews. Drawing on tenets of Zachary's Four Phases of Mentoring, this study reflects the ways in which university presidents were mentored including the effect that mentoring has on executive leadership preparation and success. This study's findings can inform our understanding of mentoring and the importance of graduate preparation programs, executive leadership programs and organizations, and professional associations for the university presidency.
