Writing program administrators work amid shifting institutional priorities, limited resources, and complex relationships. Drawing on interviews with experienced writing program leaders, interdisciplinary leadership scholarship, and their own experiences, Amy Lee, Heidi Estrem, and Cody Bursch offer a framework for navigating these demands through listening, collaboration, critical reflection, feedback, and revision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe authors describe WPAs as writing leaders in progress.

Reflective pause exercises and “Wayfinding” passages, contributed by Molly Vasich, help readers examine their leadership identities, strengthen their networks of support, and develop responses to challenges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor new, experienced, and returning writing program administrators (WPAs), this book supports professional learning across roles and career transitions.
