Teams and Teamwork in Higher Education

By Estela Mara Bensimon and Anna Neumann

Johns Hopkins University Press

Most organizational theorists use the athletic team as a metaphor for the effective work group - specific players motivated to give their best performance in pursuit of a common goal. Redesigning Collegiate Leadership offers a different model, focusing instead on the complex ways that members of a leadership team interact, wield power, use language, and creat meaning. Estela Mara Bensimon and Anna Neumann describe the team as a culture and argue that effective team leadership depends on expecting, understanding, and appreciating the differences among individuals. Using interview with members of administrative teams on fifteen campuses - including research universities, public colleges, and community colleges - the authors examine teamwork as an essentially human activity.

About the Authors

She is co-director of the Organizational Structures and Policies Project for the National center for Postecondary Teaching, Learning, and Assessment. Anna Neumann, a former college administrator, teaches in the Department of Educational Administration at Michigan State University.

Reviews

"Any president, team leader, or team builder can glean a sizable amount of wisdom from Redesigning Collegiate Leadership... The authors provide experiential knowledge on how to build and evaluate a 'real,' complex team."

- Toni Murdock - Alliance

"Reading this work becomes a personal as well as intellectual journey of reflecting on who we are and what we might wish to become as collaborative leaders and team builders. An important journey for any administrator in American higher education today."

Endorsements

"This book should be read by every college president, administrator, and academic leader. It challenges the assumptions about current hierarchical leadership and successfully reinforces team processes and collaborative leadership."

- Paul A. Elsner, Chancellor, Maricopa Community Colleges

"This excellent book is rare in its focus on leadership groups in higher education. The conceptual lens and illuminating examples should be useful both to those who study higher education and to those who 'practice' higher education leadership."

- Judith Dozier Hackman, Associate Dean, Yale College
