In an attempt to discover what makes a dean and clarify the under-studied profession of deanship, this text delves into the job, its roles and responsibilities, and features profiles of current deans and their careers.
Based on the National Deans Survey, which included 800 deans from all U.S. 4-year academic institutions, this book describes the deanship in general and gives profiles of deans: who they are and where they work. Also discussed is the position of dean itself in terms of general academic leadership and what deans in this study believe are their primary roles and responsibilities, where role ambiguity and conflict come into play, and how they characterize stress and its relationship to job satisfaction.

MIMI WOLVERTON is Associate Professor and Higher Education Administration Program Coordinator at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. With more than 20 years of executive experience in private sector organizations, she writes extensively in the areas of leadership, organizational change, educational policy, curriculum and instructional improvement, and innovation. WALTER H. GMELCH is Dean of the College of Education at Iowa State University, Ames.
