Findings from a scoping study is an understated title for a very significant report and piece of research. Look beneath the surface of this heading and you will find a publication that presents a deep and discursive exposition of leadership in global higher education based on a robust mixed methods approach. Underpinned by an extensive literature review, the main body of the research captures a range of voices and perspectives on issues relating to contemporary higher education (HE). Through facilitated discussion and large group interactions this essentially collaborative piece of research, taking a whole community approach, brought together colleagues from across the sector, a diverse mix of academic, professional services and executive/management staff, as well as a range of HE-associated bodies. I commend this report to everyone interested in the future of higher education leadership.
