Team Leadership in Community Colleges
This edited collection is the first book to address the topic of how leaders work with teams to manage and transform community colleges.

He suggests that the lack of preparedness was directly responsible for two of Canada’s costliest military defeats: the battle of Hong Kong and Dieppe.
