Description

Chief advancement officers have been among the main drivers in the growth of the advancement industry during the past few decades. Relatively little is known, however, about this role and the people who fill it.
 
In Making the Case for Leadership, Jon Derek Croteau and Zachary A. Smith provide insightful details about 10 of the most successful CAOs in higher education: their career paths, leadership philosophies and leadership variables. The book also presents the authors' Advancement Leadership Competency Model, based on the results of the interviews with these 10 leaders and on rigorous data analysis.
 
The authors examine lessons learned and look at the implications, from their research, for the next generation of advancement leaders and future leadership development and training programs.
