About the Book

This book has two things going for it that are rarely combined—it is fundamentally purposeful and it is useful. As the authors point out, there is a trilogy of needs confronting any business leader with a change agenda and/or transitioning into a new top role: influence, coalition building, and performance consulting. Of the three, performance consulting has received the least amount of attention in both the public and private-sector businesses. Because the focus on performance consulting rests primarily on the worker and the workplace environment, the authors contend that we must have a picture of how that environment has changed over the years. In this book, visionary leaders of community colleges will present their views about the present challenges and future approaches needed for community colleges to be successful.

Review :
Given the large number of community college presidents, chancellors and/or CEOs that will transition from their roles in the coming years, we have a massive opportunity to inform the priorities of these new leaders. Economic resiliency, and the workforce development strategies successful colleges have used to build robust economies warrants attention. This book shines light on many community college voices, and is to be commended for elevating the discussion. Never since the Industrial Revolution has the subject of Workforce Development been at the forefront of business, industry, government and community organization agendas and priorities. For our nation, and for its future economic vitality and sustained growth for all its citizens, Community Colleges represent the “epicenter” for assuring the preparation of a qualified workforce and a sustained healthy economy. We can ill afford not to have Community Colleges fully supported as our nation’s most strategically-important asset. The prosperity of our nation depends in large part upon our ability to prepare a skilled and productive workforce. Thankfully, Community Colleges have emerged as the pre-eminent providers of workforce development. Community College Leaders Opinions of Workforce Development is a valuable resource for anyone working in and across workforce education and training. The insight provided serves as a guidepost for successful community and business partnerships. I wish I would have had this ten years ago when I first became President.
