The Art of
Institutional Leadership
Unleashing the Potential of Emotional Intelligence
Professor Laban Peter Ayiro has been the Vice-Chancellor of Daystar University, Nairobi, Kenya. He specialises in leadership; policy development and implementation; curriculum development; research methods; quality assurance and pedagogy.
In The Art of Institutional Leadership: Unleashing the Potential of Emotional Intelligence, Prof. Laban P. Ayiro articulates his leadership and management style from a personal perspective. If you are in a leadership position or you want to improve your general life experience, this book is for you. It addresses many people’s concerns and interests. You will learn lessons on leadership from Prof. Ayiro’s rich career as an educationist, spanning over 35 years.
From the onset, I must admit that I have learnt a lot from reading this book. Prof. Ayiro espouses the fundamental principles of managing institutions very well. These principles surpass the confines of a school. They are vital in management of our lives and in building relationships with fellow human beings. Although he set out to write a book on management and leadership of institutions, Prof. Ayiro has inevitably ended up giving us a slice of his memoirs.
