RE: Re: [MTC Global] Leadership in Management Institute

I would like to describe leadership styles in education as under based on my experience

 

1.       Entrepreneurial – a good leader focuses on long term goals a bad leader focuses on short term gains.

2.       Educationist – he has an holistic approach treating education as a mission.

3.       Teacher – he is passionate about teaching and learning both.

4.       Administrator – he manages all resources to the best of their potential and keeps the team together.

5.       Bureaucrat – He does nothing except finding fault and passing the buck.

 

Regards

Virendra Goel

Dear Sir, The views expressed by the readers throw up points that suggest different approaches to the management of a B-school.
First and foremost is the question: Should a highly successful corporate CEO be the right fit to run a B-School? or should a highly regarded academic be the head of a B-school?
There seem to be no clear answers because there are successes and failures of both kinds of leaderships.
Curiously, one can discern two distinct trends in Managing B-school.
The first trend is to introduce the other functions such as Sales, Marketing, Finance as aiding and supporting the Academic functions of imparting knowledge and skills to the students. In this kind of a B-school, the teacher is a worker who converts the raw student to a finished school product. Academics themselves design curricula of the various courses, strike partnerships for programs for selling these to the students.
The other functions are manned by professionals in sales, finance and marketing, HR just like any other corporate entity.
In the second form, the academics in the various disciplines such as Marketing, Finance, HR and Operations are assigned roles that involve Program selling, Corporate Placement, Program coordination, research and publications, Financial management and control ( curiously managed by the owner-trustees and their employees)
Between these forms are various shades as suiting the objectives of the objectives.
It will be a deeper study to determine which form will have a greater chance of surviving competition in the Indian environment.
The success of the ISB in B-school education to the Corporate form, while the success of the IIMs testify to the second model
Best Regards,

Dear SP,Thank you very much. I do appreciate your unflinching interest as much as your concerns for B Schools and their leadership.Thankfully, there is so much of talk about the role and kind of Directors. Hope all this gets on to action and some positive changes.

Let me take bit of time, hopefully to write about our own experience of making an institute.Hope you are doing fine otherwise.Warm regards,

Dear Friends:
I have been reading with interest the different view points and frustrations about Leadership in management institutes.
With over 1000 management institutes, let us admit that we will not be able to get ideal leaders as we need too many. Leadership is a function of our social upbringing and character. I find that as a society we prone to mediocrity, jealousy, disinclination towards learning, curiosity, hard work etc. We tend to be lazy and lack a spirit of creativity and innovativeness. We also tend to indulge too much in back-biting, organizational politics and back-biting. We also suffer too much with inferiority complex.




Since we may not always get an ideal leader, we will have to work together with the best that is available in the circumstances. This goes not only in management institutes but all kinds of institutions, organizations, departments, societies, etc.




I would like to give some examples of good (perhaps) excellent leaders. Ravi Mathai, the first Director of IIM Ahmedabad was only a BA(Oxon). He was not a PhD. In the beginning IIM Calcutta had better qualified faculty than IIM Ahmedabad. IIMC slowly fell behind. Ravi instituted the policy of a Director doing only one term of 5 years and then becoming an ordinary Faculty member, thereby diluting the hierarchical status of a Director. He was able to turn ordinary faculty members into excellent teachers. IN MY VIEW, HAD RAVI MATHAI FAILED, MANAGEMENT EDUCATION IN INDIA WOULD HAVE FAILED. Ravi, later was instrumental in starting Institute of Rural Management at Anand together with his cousin, Dr Verghese Kurien. Ravi, thus was an institution builder. He had industry experience, having worked with Macneil and Barry in the Marketing function.




Dr K S Basu, the first Director of Baja Institute at Bombay was the Personnel Director of Hindustan Lever. He was not an MBA or PhD but an MBBS doctor, who did excellent work
