Constructing the Presidency: College Presidents' Images of Their Leadership Roles, a Comparative Study.

Neumann, Anna; Bensimon, Estela M.

Journal of Higher Education, v61 n6 p678-701 Nov-Dec 1990

This study identifies four patterns of how college presidents (N=32) interpret their own leadership roles and defines them in terms of a president's target of attention, mode of action, and relatedness to college life. It concludes that the presidency is not a singular, objective event but a subjective construction that may be experienced in diverse ways. (Author)
