This topic discusses leadership in Higher Education.

Leadership is an important part of running an organisation and is typically done by one or few people. This type of leadership also occurs in higher education. Should organisations be led by one person? What do we want from our leaders? What is the difference between a leader and a manager? What is the difference between leadership confidence and leadership competence?
