UK: Top scholars should lead research universities – University World News

Research universities should be led by brilliant scholars and not merely
talented managers, says Warwick University fellow Amanda Goodall. It is not sufficient for leaders to have management skills alone, Goodall states in a new book.

In Socrates in the Boardroom: why research universities should be led by top scholars*, Goodall challenges the orthodoxy of “managerialism” which began in the Thatcher era and continued during the Blair decade.
