Change Leadership and Decision Discipline in the Context of Shared Governance

Higher education leaders are under increasing pressure to make faster, higher-stakes decisions, often in environments where shared governance can slow momentum or diffuse accountability. Competing priorities, limited financial flexibility, and uneven understanding of institutional strategy make it difficult to build consensus and act with confidence.

EAB’s change management diagnostic helps you pinpoint where your institution’s approach to change leadership and shared governance is enabling progress and where it may be holding you back. Through a structured set of questions, you’ll uncover gaps in alignment, surface areas of internal disagreement, and identify opportunities to strengthen decision discipline across your leadership team.
