Grimes, Lalla Rookh.
Portrait of a Leader: Dean Boris Yavitz.
New York?: Lalla Rookh Grimes, 1998. 80 pages.
'This work grew out of my interest in issues raised in a course on leadership
in higher education taken in 1993 as part of graduate studies at Teachers
College, Columbia University. Having served in academic administration at
Columbia Business School for nearly twenty years at that time... I came to
realize that, in serving as Assistant to Dean Boris Yavitz from 1975 to 1982, I
had worked with a most extraordinary educational leader.' - Preface. Very good
stiff wrappers. #22587. $20
