| Descripción: | ABSTRACT This study explores the perspectives and understandings of post-secondary leaders and their contexts as described through the qualitative experiences of 12 Maritime Canadian leaders (presidents and vice-presidents) who work in contemporary, publicly funded, post-secondary institutions. Four themes emerge: balancing daily dissonance, learning experientially to lead, creating learning spaces, and needing moments of grace. The research reveals that leaders seek deeper understandings of their work and their characterization. RÉSUMÉ Cette étude explore les perspectives et les connaissances de leaders en éducation postsecondaire et leurs contextes, tels que décrits par le biais des expériences qualitatives de 12 leaders (présidents et vice-présidents) canadiens des provinces des Maritimes qui œuvrent dans des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaires contemporains et publics. Quatre thèmes ressortent de l’étude : l’équilibre de la dissonance quotidienne, l’apprentissage expérimental pour devenir leader, la création de lieux d’apprentissage et le besoin de vivre des moments de grâce. La recherche révèle que les leaders aspirent à une compréhension plus approfondie de leur travail et de l’interprétation que l’on en fait. |
