The problem is not plans, people or methods
It is in collective mindset
Building things that need to be grown just won’t work
Infrastructure attracts Talent
Talent Not Infrastructure

Challenge of Leadership is enablement
Connecting local money to expatriate researchers
‘Don’t know what we need’
‘They will leave soon’
‘We know what is best for us’
Convergence of Curiosity

Elitism
Taught by people who defined a subject
Develop into outstanding graduate students
High Quality undergraduate teaching
Small class sizes
Systematic and persistent engagement with leading professors
Research and Teaching must always be 2 sides of the same coin.

University strategies appear
inter-changeable
Leadership acutely difficult
Business finds a querulous culture
Academics – unequipped
for management
Politicians – wax and wane
Leadership requires team set
Cheerleaders in the Community – Chancellor
Organisational management - President
Academic excellence – Provost
Financial Management - CFO
Leadership

Acquire resources, allocate resources, utilise the subsequent outputs most effectively
Three main funding sources: Foundation; fees; research and exploitation
