This book offers a real-world perspective of the complex landscape of organizational structures, leadership, and governance of community colleges. The authors use their vast experiences in college leadership to demonstrate how to move up in leadership, deal with a change of expectations, and avoid institutional landmines.

This book is about how to survive, thrive, and make a difference as a leader in the political arena that can sometimes be overwhelming. First published in 2000, the book quickly rose to the bestseller list at the American Association of Community College’s bookstore as college administrators, university graduate students and college staff development officers recognized its importance as a learning and mentoring resource for current and future college leaders. The authors share ideas, anecdotes, and vicarious experiences that should help readers take advantage of career opportunities and, if necessary, survive pitfalls that may temporarily set them back. The Third Edition has been updated and expanded to reflect new challenges and new opportunities found on America’s community college campuses.

Bob Jensen has worked at "big & small" institutions, at all levels, in both Student Services and Instructional Services. He has been privileged to learn from great colleagues and serve the community and students. Always trying to improve the Institution and build on its strengths, he believes "good leadership" can make a difference. Ray Giles had a 40-year career in community colleges, working at four different districts as well as two statewide associations. He ended his career as director of a national community college consulting firm.
