In his most recent ⁠IngenioUs⁠ blog article, ⁠David J Staley ⁠asks universities to consider long-term visionary thinking as an important tool for ensuring their relevance. According to Staley, this means taking to heart the meaning of "visionary" leadership, something he suggests most university boards don't really want. As Staley astutely points out, the art of envisioning something radically different from what the rest of us see today may be too discomforting and disruptive for most university boards to manage. This article is one of Staley's most compelling reads and speaks succinctly to the disconnect between how so many higher education institutions operate today and what is required for long-term viability.
