<p>Creativity and Innovation Have Become Mandatory in Higher Education No matter a college or university’s size, student body, affiliation, or type, every campus is facing increasingly complex challenges: enrollment shortfalls, budget deficits, and faculty and staff who are asked to do so much more with less. Stakeholder demands for increased accountability, shifting student demographics, and governmental policy changes are reshaping the higher education landscape. Leaders across the academy must be willing to adapt to undertake these challenges head-on. Disruptive Transformation draws on the expertise of a diverse array of creative and innovative higher education leaders to encourage readers to reflect, experiment, and evolve their professional practice. This edited volume brings together a remarkable collection of examples, strategies, resources, and reflections related to how creativity and innovation can be harnessed by those privileged to lead colleges and universities. Chapters explore best practices in creative and innovative leadership in higher education; intersections between diversity, inclusion, and creative leadership; barriers for leading creatively; and the importance of creativity and innovation at the senior level. Reflection questions and activities are provided throughout the book to help readers unlock their inner creativity. The field of higher education is constantly evolving, and there is an unquestionable need for qualified leaders who are equipped with the requisite skills to usher in change. Disruptive Transformation is an essential resource for higher education leaders seeking to become more creative and innovative as they transform campus and organizational cultures.</p>
