Higher Ed: KUT's Jennifer Stayton And Dr. Ed Burger On Leading, Mananging And Embracing Conflict

A "Higher Ed" podcast listener wrote in recently with an intriguing question for Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burger: does Ed, as a teacher and university president, "see himself as more of a leader or manager? How does he differentiate the two concepts and does he place more emphasis on one area or another?" In this episode, KUT's Jennifer Stayton talks with Ed about what he sees are the differences - if any - between managing and leading. How do those differences play out in the classroom, and can leadership and management be taught?
