Abstract
Leadership involves advocating in the best interest of others. Leadership is about creating opportunity that is bigger than what might be created by oneself. Leadership is a function of expertise, change, risk, persistence, and trust. Leadership occurs at many different levels and comes in many different forms and different types of leadership require different skill sets. After instituting change the leader has to achieve a consensus for the value proposition and transfer ownership of responsibility for the program to the institution. This type of leadership requires a long-term perspective since change takes time and requires the presence of many enabling factors. Most administrators who control resources however have a very short-term perspective as a result of performance objectives and the need to respond to market forces. The change agent must learn to act strategically. This chapter is about leadership tools to act strategically.
