In our social intelligence report on how to rebuild public trust in higher ed, one of the recommendations for leaders is to lead boldly, think differently, and approach decisions with an audience-first framework. https://lnkd.in/gj9ZSZ8T Teresa Valerio Parrot, EdD, APR shares similar advice for presidents in her conversation with Jaime Hunt on Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO. Pair these strategies to move forward, reclaim higher ed's relevance, and meet the evolving needs of your audience. https://lnkd.in/gG-gmvC2

As the real-world impact of research is increasingly explored (👋 Andrew Jack, RRBM Responsible Research in Business and Management), I find The Strategic Management Society convo led by INSEAD Laurence Capron useful: Why, when and how do academics share their research outside of academia?   Some take-aways:   ❓ Why? It’s personal. In our Tik-Tok-ChatGPT-low-attention era where a business book sells about 500 copies, writing a new managerial book should bring personal fulfilment to the author. Articles in practitioners’ magazines such as Harvard Business Review(HBR) or Sloan Management Review (SMR) are another conduit to bring research to the real world. And here again, it’s personal: choosing research questions based on managerial needs brings more opportunity for wide dissemination than focusing on filing research gaps.   ⏰ When? It depends. Some systematically translate new peer-reviewed published papers into practitioners’ articles. Others front load research and write for practitioners later on. Where an academic is in her tenure journey matters because practitioners’ contributions are not valued for academic promotion.   🥮 How? There are recipes. For a book: Write two chapters & an outline, find a book agent, contract with a publisher, use their deadlines as external pressure to get it done. One can use the classroom as a testing ground for what clicks and how areas of research hang together as a coherent whole for a manager. For a practitioners’ article: Start with a contrarian viewpoint, bring a couple of killer facts and examples to account for supportive evidence, layout 3-4 implications for how to manage differently. Also good to know submission rules of targeted outlets: eg, senior editors’ picks for HBR, peer-review process for SMR.   Beyond books and magazine articles, using social media outlets for greater dissemination was briefly mentioned. I would suggest a sequel SMS webinar focusing just on that, given the potential for reach + how engagement with classroom participants could also help academics on that front. full convo 👇

“Leaders and members of boards that have succeeded in becoming much more diverse agree that without intentionality, diversity doesn’t just happen. But with thoughtful execution of planned strategies, boards can become more diverse and therefore more effective, respected, and trusted.” Does your board culture reflect a genuine commitment to the value of diversity in your governance responsibilities? Does your board culture accurately reflect the culture of your staff, faculty, and students?

A strategy we discuss in my classes is repetition! Reiterating important information throughout your presentation can help the audience remember your key takeaways. Do you recall what primary class I teach? 😊

I am delighted to share that an article that I co-authored with John Braxton, Dawn Lyken-Segosebe, and Christine Harrington was recently published by the Journal of Higher Education Management. It's entitled "Clarity or Continuing Ambiguity Regarding the Tenure and Promotion Process in Community Colleges." If you are community college faculty or working in community college academic affairs leadership, please consider giving this empirical study a read. We discuss a framework on how faculty and academic affairs leadership can better quantify and value the multivalent work of CC faculty. https://lnkd.in/eEkz8Ewy
