Praise for UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT'S CRISIS HANDBOOK
"Scott Green navigated a series of crises at the University of Idaho--including aggressively addressing potential financial insolvency, implementing a strong and effective response to the pandemic, and managing the impacts of a devastating crime with grace and authority. His book is a crisis management tool that shares his unique experiences and insights to help current and future leaders."
--Brad Little, Governor of Idaho
"The University President's Crisis Handbook is an invaluable resource for anyone leading a complex organization in the face of adversity. It offers thoughtful and practical leadership and management insights ranging from strategy development, fiscal management, and data-driven decision making to strategic communication, crisis management, and team building."
--Erik Peterson, Lieutenant General (Retired) U.S. Army
"I truly appreciate the candid insights and actionable advice this book offers. Universities can encounter a range of crises, and President Green navigated several during his first four years at the helm -- from a financial crunch, a pandemic, to a capital crime that garnered national attention. Yet, under his guidance, the University of Idaho not only weathered these storms but also stayed true to its strategic goals, impressively without missing a beat. As a fellow university president, I find this knowledge invaluable. I'm confident every higher education executive would greatly benefit from adding this book to their management arsenal."
--Chris Lynne, President, University of Phoenix
"As a member of the University of Idaho Board of Regents and its immediate past president, I had a front-row seat to the challenges President Green faced during his first four years at the institution. No one would expect a newly installed president to handle a series of crises adroitly and have the institution they lead come out the other side stronger, but that is precisely what happened. This book tells a compelling story, accurately describing the challenges the University of Idaho faced and the tactics used to overcome them. As a private sector CEO, I believe there is valuable advice contained in this book that is useful for managers of any business or institution, not just those in higher education."
--Kurt Liebich, Chairman, Commercial Resources LLC and New Wood Resources LLC, and Immediate Past President, Idaho State Board of Education
