Just curious what you think.  Given the environment has changed so much in the world of higher ed, is a new leadership style required to bring us through this?  

Career colleges have long held the enviable position of preparing America's workforce and yet are being left in the dust.  What can we do to be heard?

What knowledge, skills and abilities are needed to lead a successful admissions team in this confrontational environment?

What leadership styles and skills are needed in this new world of higher ed?  Changes continue and there is no end in sight.  So I'm curious, what types of leaders are needed in this dynamic environment?

Dr. Norris,

Good morning. I don't believe enrollment will become totally automated in our industry because it would take away from the value of customer service. If our industry does not understand the key component of exceptional customer service and the buy in of first impression truly matters - we have lost before we ever take on compliance and the other areas that bear down on for profit and career colleges.

Financial Services (FP) on the other hand I believe is headed in that direction. I feel this way about FP because basically a simple function in everyday life with the same dollar value… >>>

The career college sector has long been the leader in innovation!  Given the pressure on admissions in compliance areas as well as the high demands of student (customers)...do you think the world of admissions may ever be automated to a certain degree?  What about financial aid?

Are you a leader or know of someone inspirational?  Share your story of how you help others - help students!  

I totally agree. I want the best of the best but with the generation coming up, I think a hard stance needs to be made in the recruitment and selection to observe the difference in learning styles, and having faculty and leadership conform for once, and not take it out on the learner!

It's no doubt that faculty play an integral role in the life of the organization.  As a former dean, I often found myself serving as student and faculty advocate with administration.  This role can be stressful in serving the needs of so many.  Anyone else have experiences they can share on how to successfully manage the role "in the middle"?
