Because not every administrator comes to the job knowing everything they need to know to succeed. The Administrator’s Bookshelf‘s books, booklets, seminars and workshops are designed to make your transition and on-going tenure as an administrator easier and more satisfying from Day 1 with useful information, tips, and best practices that can be implemented immediately.
Because many academics become administrators without the benefit of formal training in management and operational issues. Most administrators are trained in their areas of research and teaching specialization not college operations. The Administrator’s Bookshelf will provide you with understanding and with easy-to-implement actions and processes in operational areas and activities you are called on to perform.
Because not everyone can afford to wait for on-the-job training they need to really succeed in their new roles. The Administrator’s Bookshelf provides experience-based training in focused, easy to follow and implement books and seminars to ensure you get what you need to do the job without having to learn by trail and error.
Because we have been there, and now we know what we wish we had known then to help us overcome the anxiety and pitfalls of college administration. The Administrator’s Bookshelf is written by experienced professionals—people who have been there, done that and learned from their mistakes and success. We want to pass along what we learned to you because nobody should have to go it alone.
Because every day brings new challenges and demands, we want to make sure they also bring rewards. The Administrator’s Bookshelf is constantly adding new books, seminars, regional operational workshops and conferences as well as a wiki to assure the latest and best ideas, how-to’s and solutions to help make sure the joys of administration will outweigh the demands.
