Leadership Reflections: Professor Shân Wareing, Vice-Chancellor

My guest in this episode of the Leadership Reflections mini-series is Professor Shân Wareing, Vice-Chancellor of Middlesex University. In this episode, Shân shares more about her professional background and progressing her career through an educational development route and into senior leadership. With a prime motivation to want to see students flourish and for institutions to work effectively, Shân reflects upon her pathway to becoming a Vice-Chancellor, including what she learnt along the way, her approach to team leadership, managing resilience. She also considers why it’s important to be supporting emerging leaders of the future, and how she still sees leadership as a learning process.  This Leadership Reflections mini-series is kindly sponsored by Minerva. Minerva is an executive search firm that supports universities in making senior executive appointments across academic and professional service roles and also in recruiting to university council and interim positions.
