<i>An Insider's Guide to University Administration</i>

In his book An Insider's Guide to University Administration , Daniel Grassian combines discussions of specific topics in higher education administration with occasional instructions of the how‐to variety and biographical elements. His overall focus is on leadership, as he argues that mastering management skills and techniques without the respective leadership approach will lead to failure in an academic administrative position. Consequently, on many topics, Grassian does not provide easy answers but argues the different aspects of a topic in a very balanced, insightful, and nuanced manner.
