Description

Building a University Where Academic Excellence Can Flourish

Many business leaders have repeatedly asked Nido Qubein to chronicle how a small college in North Carolina rose to national attention and grew substantially in spite of the Great Recession of 2008 and the coronavirus in 2020. It describes how High Point University innovatively and courageously grew in size, academic stature, and fiscal strength. Leaders wanted to study the lessons learned and principles followed to completely transform HPU into a thriving institution and to apply those principles in their organizations.

You’ll enjoy reading how Nido Qubein left a prosperous business career and returned to lead his alma mater at a much-needed time in its history. The author demonstrates his respect for the academy as he leads his team to nurture a God, family, and country university focused on providing the perfect balance between intellectual discovery and practical life skills.

In these pages, you’ll enjoy many pertinent anecdotes and appreciate a long list of useful strategies that can be successfully implemented in any enterprise. You’ll find yourself thinking differently about some processes and preparing distinctively for some new initiatives. Read this book with an open mind and a flexible spirit. It’s amazing how extraordinary transformation can be when we believe in the art of the possible.
