The Essential Department Chair A Comprehensive Desk Reference

Thoroughly revised and updated, this second edition of the classic book The Essential Department Chair is designed to be more comprehensive and up-to-date. The new edition incorporates many timely topics and is now truly more than a guide-it's a much-needed desk reference, a book that includes "everything you need to know to be a department chair." The book contains a wealth of new case studies and shows new department chairs how the guidelines would perform in a real-life situation.
