Higher Education Case Study Integrated into 2011 Senior Leadership Forum

At the conclusion of the 2010 Senior Leadership Forum, participants were polled on a number of aspects of the 2 ½ day event, including the classroom experience. Based on the comments received, we are pleased to announce that the 2011 Forum will include a new case study and workshop spotlighting the University of Virginia Newcomb Hall Dining Room Renovation and Bookstore Expansion project, complemented by an in-depth facility tour of the project currently underway. Analyzing this project through the unique lens of the auxiliary leader, the case study, which will be required reading prior to participation in the Forum, will provide the background information examining the complex environment surrounding project development teams during the early planning stages leading up to "shovel in the ground." It exposes issues, suggests remedies, and provides tools and techniques for managers to consider during future projects.

Article By Robert B. Tucker, Opening General Session Speaker from the 2010 NACAS Annual Conference In a time of economic disruption, unprecedented downsizings, budgetary cutbacks and the constant produce, budgetary cutbacks and the constant pressure to outsource more and more routine functions (and the employees who perform them), advice on professional survival always seems to convey the same tired message: Be visible. Don't make enemies. Brown nose the boss. And work even harder. In reality, you are already working hard. Simply working harder will not be enough, and may lead to a burnout.
