“…Again, most of these external recruits are male (Scott et al 2010). This questions pipeline theory which assumes that once a significant pool of women exists in middle management they will move into the executive level.…”

“…Second, university decision-making is becoming more centralised with greater executive prerogative being asserted with a focus on 'leaderism' (Morley 2013a) with men in 70% of university executive positions (Gordon and Whitchurch 2010;Fitzgerald 2012). Third, there is a shift away from academic involvement in decision-making to managerial decision-making (Scott et al 2010;Rowlands 2011Rowlands , 2014. Fourth, there has been a reassertion of gendered knowledge-power relations around the dominance of discourses of science and technology linked to innovation around high-status 'hard' science dominated by males (Thornton, forthcoming;Blackmore 2014).…”

“…Also, how the structure and culture of high education intersect with organizational leadership is examined. Increasingly, there is evidence that illustrates emotional intelligence is connected to effective leadership practices in the university environment (Bryman, ; Coates & Anderson, ; Dulewicz & Higgs, ; George, ; Herbst, ; Rantz, 2002; Rowley & Sherman, ; Scott, Coates, & Anderson, ). There are critics who point to an apparent lack of emotional intelligence among higher education leaders (Anderson & Coates, ; Dulewicz & Higgs, ; Herbst, ).…”

Using Emotional Intelligence to Drive Enrollment Performance: An Integrative Review of the Literature

Strategic Enroll Management

This article explores the use of emotional intelligence (EQ) as a leadership characteristic to drive enrollment performance at colleges and universities in the United States. The next decade of higher education will present continuous, dramatic, and transformational change in higher education. New paradigms and educational delivery systems will become commonplace. Federal legislation may strongly influence admission practices, tuition increases, and mandates for standard retention and graduation rates. Changing demographics and an uncertain international climate will alter the population of future university classes. Resources that assist college students in paying for their education will likely decrease. Technology will continue to make higher education available to students of all ages and at all times of the day and night. In short, change will be constant, and effective leadership among educational administrators, such as enrollment managers, will be imperative. The relationship between EQ, leadership effectiveness, and enrollment performance are examined. The article concludes with a review of emotional intelligence research in higher education and a discussion of the implication of enrollment performance for EQ research and practice.

As leadership discourses in higher education are increasingly being mediated online, texts previously reserved for staff are now being made available in the public domain. As such, these texts become accessible for study, critique and evaluation. Additionally, discourses previously confined to the written domain are now increasingly multimodal. Thus, an approach is required that is capable of relating detailed, complex multimodal discourse analyses to broader sociocultural perspectives to account for the complex meaning-making practices that operate in online leadership discourses. For this purpose, a digital multimodal discourse approach is proposed and illustrated via a smallscale case study of the online leadership discourse of an Australian university. The analysis of two short video texts demonstrates how a digital multimodal discourse perspective facilitates the identification of key multimodal systems used for meaning-making in online communication, how meaning arises through combinations of semiotic choices (not individual choices), and how the results of multimodal discourse analysis using digital technology can reveal larger sociocultural patterns -in this case, divergent leadership styles and approaches as reflected in online discourse, at a time of immense change within the higher education sector.
