Entrepreneurial Leaders: The Catalyst of Change for Higher Learning Institutions

Abstract

University Leaders Entrepreneurial Educators' Bootcamp (UniLEEB) is a capacity building programme hosted by UMK in collaboration with Centre for Leadership Development, Higher Education Leadership Academy (AKEPT) with the aim to enhance entrepreneurial leadership competencies among university’s leaders. AKEPT provides a platform for renowned leaders in higher education institutions to impart their knowledge and skills to their future successors based on their best practices. These invaluable sharing of success stories and experience are usually passed from word of mouth and rarely documented. Taking a different stance from a famous quote, ‘leaders are born, not made’, this book aims to inspire the readers, especially the future leaders, to learn from the incredible journey made by nine remarkable leaders in higher learning institutions. Therefore, this book provides a compilation of stories presented in a case study of nine (9) successful higher learning institution leaders. We hoped this book would be a good starting point for the upcoming series of a recorded knowledge-sharing session from our local intellectual to all local and global readers.
