More than anybody else on campus, the president is expected to be all things to all men-fund raiser, politician, scholar, pressagent, long-range planner, public speaker, banqueteer with a cast-iron digestion. Another problem is that few schools like the idea of a built-in successor. If an outgoing president tries to groom an up-and-coming administrator as a potential heir apparent, says Stanford Graduate Business Dean Ernest Arbuckle, "that...
