Today's college leaders face more frequent and complex challenges than ever before — enrollment is declining, tuition revenue is down, public funding is stagnant, and, as demographics shift, institutions must quickly adapt to a student body that is older and more racially diverse. Presidents, deans, and those that aspire to such positions need to be prepared. 

This just released  Chronicle issue brief, "The Successful President of Tomorrow: The 5 Skills Future Leaders Need," outlines significant trends in higher education and breaks down five essential skills presidents and senior administrators need to lead their institution to success in today's difficult environment.

• Analyze your institution's business model to lead change while staying true to your core mission
• Innovate and take smart risks that don't jeopardize day-to-day operations
• Foster positive relationships with a diverse set of constituents, on campus and beyond
• Develop a 21st century communications strategy
• Prepare for and manage a campus crisis or scandal
