Following our launch of the Framework for Leading in Higher Education, Romy Lawson, Senior Deputy Vice Chancellor at Flinders University in Australia, writes about how leadership approaches are transforming, particularly in higher education. She says that traditional top-down leadership models are giving way to leader-leader models, where decision-making is delegated to where information originates. Romy highlights four essential mindsets for modern leaders: The power of doubt - being willing to question decisions and change course when needed Embracing incompleteness - acknowledging limitations and building complementary teams True engagement - prioritising meaningful dialogue over one-way broadcasting Empowerment - giving people the tools and authority to solve their own challenges She says the new Framework for Leading in Higher Education helps to reposition leadership to this more contemporary perspective.
