Power, Persuasion, and Politics in the Higher Education Workplace: A Guide for Faculty and Staff


Add your own review!

Overview

This invaluable resource supplies foundational knowledge and expert strategies on navigating the workplace dynamics of power, persuasion, and politics across higher education. Despite burnout, compassion fatigue, and questions of privilege and oppression being at the forefront of academia, little if any attention is given to the political aspects of professional practice across the array of campus administrative and academic units. By masterfully leveraging scholarly literature on power, persuasion, and politics with the tried-and-true collegiate expertise of the contributing authors, faculty and staff will develop the knowledge and skills they need to negotiate the pervasive, often intimidating political behavior that dominates the higher education workspace. The ultimate guide to understanding, engaging, and thriving in the campus workplace, this book belongs in the hands of all higher education professionals.
