description: College and university presidents are shrouded in mystique, balancing consensus-driven leadership with bottom-line business.

Here, Budig shares his insights with disarming clarity and candor. His broad experience elucidates the 'uncommon skills' required to survive, and prosper, in the little-taught and rarely understood profession of university leadership.
