Leadership Library

This Leadership Library is offered as a resource to current and aspiring faculty leaders. It includes materials that have been collected through people’s recommendations, past campus speakers and programs, and relevant scholarship from faculty colleagues at KU. The library has not been further curated by the Office of Faculty Affairs, and no endorsement should be assumed by the inclusion (or absence) of particular materials. We hope the Leadership Library will be a resource that stimulates personal growth and thought-provoking engagement with varied perspectives. We also welcome additional recommendations at facultyaffairs@ku.edu.
