by Eliza Anyangwe, - she opens with an image of Martin Luther King Jr. at the podium: "Martin Lurther King was a great leader. Are there any such figures in higher education?" what she doesn't address is that King relied on local "bridge" leaders to do the everyday work - and that the role of community activists was crucial to King's own success. She starts the live chat with Janine Utell and English prof from Widener Univ in PA (my personal fav expert on leadership qualities is historian Doris Kearns Goodwin); but then gathers leadership-in-the-trenches voices from men: Craig Mahoney (http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/); William H Graves (http://www.ellucian.com); Richard Hall (http://www.dmu.ac.uk); Paul Gentle (http://www.lfhe.ac.uk); Jonathan Ruddle (http://www.maxximconsulting.com); and finally, a woman's voice - last and least - Dawn Freshwater (http://www.leeds.ac.uk)
