Abstract

From the author's perspective as a higher education administrator for the past 25 years, he recalls many situations in which the demands of his institution made it difficult or impossible to be an effective leader. With humor and occasional chagrin, the author shares some of these stories. In the end, he learned to play a balancing act between the organization and the individual; the need to husband scarce resources with the need to lead and innovate; and the desire to bring out the best in people with our limited ability to do so.
