Conclusion
Appendix: Light Bulb Moment Worksheet
In Empowerment at the Tower: Leadership & Identity in Higher Education, editor David Silverberg has brought together thoughtful and compelling essays from scholars across the country on what it means to work with and occasionally in spite of academic bureaucracies. Solid examples are readily transferable to a range of academic settings. Silverberg closes each chapter with candid excerpts from his interviews with more than 11 author/change agents. Offering a worksheet that will help you build relationships, solve problems creatively, and become an agent of change on your own campus, Silverberg has contributed a welcome and transformative addition to the literature on higher education.
