From the publisher

Deeper Learning in Leadership is a resource that is designed to show how leadership potential can be both broadened and deepened in our colleges and universities. Author Dennis Roberts proposes a new approach to learning about leadership development in higher education that recognizes innovative strategies are needed for the increasingly complex issues we face, both in higher education and in the broader landscape beyond the campus. He advocates that fostering deeper leadership will require educators to take a critical look at the organizational models and processes that characterize most contemporary colleges and universities. Roberts includes new models of learning and leadership, and provides summaries of widely used leadership theories as well as theories that are not as well known. He proposes a new perspective of leadership and a process of discovering leadership potential principles that educators can use to deepen students' experiences.

From the rear cover

Praise for Deeper Learning in Leadership

"What a compelling synthesis pushing new and seasoned students of leadership to explore leadership at a deeper level! Roberts' thirty years of wisdom built on helping college students explore leadership leaps off every page."
--Susan R. Komives, coauthor of Exploring Leadership: For College Students Who Want to Make a Difference

"This book inspires and illuminates. It provides a profound synthesis and set of recommendations applicable to any campus on the ways we can use the special opportunities of college life to develop the next generations of leadership."
--Ronald A. Heifetz, co-founder, Center for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

"Save yourself time and trouble--this book is a huge and trustworthy stepping-stone toward rethinking the formation of leadership in the context of higher education. Roberts has distilled a remarkable blend of historical perspective, contemporary theory, and current practice to inform and inspire the creation of mentoring environments that can make a positive difference--for the academy and for our world."
--Sharon Daloz Parks, author of Leadership Can Be Taught: A Bold Approach for a Complex World

"Bridging the gap between theory and practice, linking learning and leadership, this book is a must-read for all in the academic community committed to creating the best learning and leadership environment on their campuses."
--Cynthia Cherrey, president and chair of the board, International Leadership Association
