Abstract
This chapter presents the origins of different management styles and leadership theories that currently exist in higher education. Connections are made between incremental change and transactional leadership as differentiated from transformational change and transformational leadership. Traits of the transformational leader are discussed as necessary elements of the strategic change process. The product of an interview with transformational leaders is featured in this chapter. They talk about the greatest threats to higher education today, leadership, innovation, and what it means to be an administrator in troubled times.
