Reflections beyond Management (Lessons Gathered along the Way)

Dr. Salah Tahir Al-Haj

Throughout my journey in administration, a journey nourished alike by practical experience and academic inquiry, such reflections would present themselves from time to time, sometimes unexpectedly, sometimes after long contemplation. Gathered gradually from diverse encounters, observations, and lessons, they accumulated over the years until they seemed to demand a home of their own. It is these scattered impressions that I have sought to gather within the pages of this modest volume, in the hope that they may contribute, however humbly, to the contemporary conversation on leadership and management. If they succeed in offering even a single illuminating idea to an aspiring administrator or an ambitious young leader, they will have fulfilled their purpose.
