## Resource

Explores how higher education institutions can navigate complex governance through a unified strategy process. Morrill argues that strategic leadership is not merely a function of administrative authority, but an interactive relationship that clarifies institutional identity and mobilizes the academic community toward shared goals. The text identifies a fundamental structural conflict between the values of individual academic autonomy and the necessity for collective organizational direction. To address this, the author proposes a framework that utilizes narratives, values, and paradigms as essential tools for making sense of an institution’s future. By shifting the focus from passive management to reciprocal leadership, the book provides a roadmap for developing a collaborative strategy council and implementing mission-driven change. Ultimately, the source serves as both a theoretical analysis of leadership and a practical guide for reforming decision-making systems within the unique culture of the academy.
