Abstract
Higher education research on leadership has not yet produced with a theory that suits the analysis of leadership at universities. Many reasons have been put forward for this such as: unclear expectations of the presidential role (Kerr 1963), constraining factors like faculty characteristics, institutional prestige, and resources (Cohen/March 1974), and the absence of formal assessments for presidential performance (Neff/Leondar 1992). Birnbaum even doubts that university presidents have any lasting effect on their institutions.
