Pedestals Parapets & Pits (3Ps) offers a model for professional growth and development in the twenty-first century. Pedestals--metaphors for the glories of professional life--are described as communicating and serving others, conducting strategic planning, understanding diversity, and becoming an integrated professional. Pedestals offer sources of encouragement, optimism, and hope, but are challenged by parapets and dashed by the pits of professional life. Parapets serve as pivot points, either stimulating a rededication to pedestal-type efforts or leading--unfortunately--to pits. The parapets and pits are described in chapters dealing with ambition and aggression, jealousy and envy, drama and manipulation, forthrightness and anger, love and lust, and selectivity and prejudice, among others. Throughout the book, real-life examples of professional successes, challenges, and failures are described from the worlds of academia, business, and nonprofit corporations, thus offering an integrated understanding of the 3Ps philosophy, pragmatism and substance, which should be of great value to educated professionals.

The old aphorism A[a¬AWhere you stand is where you sitA[a¬? rings true across many sectors of society. For academic administrators, be they provosts, vice-presidents or vice-chancellors, deans or directors, department chairs or heads, or administrative support professionals, the level and scope of responsibilities clearly influence perspectives. Yet, having a understanding of the higher-education enterprise is essential to ensuring professional success and advancement. Such understanding is at the heart of this work. This handbook addresses the three key responsibilities of academic officers: inspiration, evaluation, and representation. A[a¬AGetting a Good StartA[a¬? deals with the promise of a new position, communicating with supervisors, and A[a¬Agetting around.A[a¬? A[a¬AOffering Inspiration and DirectionA[a¬? looks at the integrated scholar and A[a¬Aacademic intrapreneursA[a¬?; diversity; the joys, challenges, and failure of professional life; and dealing with tragedies. A[a¬AGuidance to Various Academic Administrators and Support StaffA[a¬? examines the development, roles, and responsibilities of academic officers and institutional planning and budgeting. Reviewing the state of the institution and its personnel is covered in A[a¬AAssessments and Evaluations, A[a¬? and A[a¬APolicies and PartnershipsA[a¬? deals with ethics-based policies, academic consortia and partnerships, and international outreach. Throughout this valuable handbook, Smith offers background, advice, and examples that will interest both the novice and seasoned administrator as he takes us on a tour of success stories, challenges, and foibles.

The book is both a personal journey, and a discussion of the challenges, successes, and failures inherent in academic life. In all cases, the author stresses how important an ethical sense of responsibility, accountability, and the development of character are to successful service in academic roles.
