Leadership in the Rough: Rejuvenating academic leadership for Australian higher education The leadership conundrum 🐔 As the future of universities is debated, so too should the nature of how they are led be up for deliberation.

Do we have the right leaders in higher education? Sarah, Deenie and I just recorded the latest episode of Housed. It'll be out on Friday at 7am but just as a sneak preview, we stray (my fault) from university rankings to the state of leadership in UK universities. I'm talking about VCs. The CEO of a university. They are effectively running businesses turning over almost £1 billion each. More stats and a Linkedin piece to follow on Friday about this but I'm wondering if the leaders of our universities should have more private sector or commercial experience. Having researched it this morning by looking at their leadership teams, only one of the 24 Russell Group of Universities leaders has a commercial or private sector background, the rest are academics who have worked their way up from being subject lecturers to running the university. I'll give you a clue who that one leader is - look to the top of the latest QS World University Rankings. Is it time for change or do we like our universities run as they are? #highered #intled #pbsa #studentaccommodation #university #education #highereducation

In education leadership, we often miss out on the transformative potential of our PhD faculty due to a lack of clear strategies for harnessing their expertise. These scholars bring invaluable research skills and deep knowledge, yet their full impact remains unrealized when their insights aren’t effectively integrated into institutional decision-making, curriculum development, or community engagement. It’s crucial for educational leaders to actively seek out and implement ways to leverage this expertise—whether through collaborative projects, mentorship roles, or policy advisory positions—to truly enhance educational outcomes and foster innovation. Let’s embrace and utilize the incredible talent of our PhD faculty to drive meaningful change in our educational environments. #EducationLeadership #PhDFaculty #InnovationInEducation #AcademicExcellence
