Due to current challenges confronting higher education, which include student access (Blumenstyk, 2015; Carnevale & Smith, 2018; Carnevale & Strohl, 2013), student degree attainment (Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, 2013; Brooks, 2005; Malgorzata & Simon, 2013), and questions regarding student learning outcomes (Arum & Roksa, 2011), U.S. higher education may be in crisis and in need of change (Blumenstyk, 2015; Selingo, 2013). These challenges have caused students, supporters, employers, and government officials to question if broad reform is needed (Christensen et al., 2011). This period within U.S. higher education exhibits how important it is for executive leaders to be equipped to lead complex organizational change. Leading the depth of change necessary will require leaders to summon courage to produce needed advances. The research question that guided this study was: What are the characteristics, behaviors, and developmental experiences of executive administrators who exhibit courageous leadership during a change process? The theory and related model that emerged from the findings of this study illustrate those common characteristics and behaviors that support courageous action. The model that emerged contained five key characteristics and behaviors. At the center of this model for courage was deep conviction. The next key characteristic was altruistic humility. Altruistic humility connected an individual's deepest convictions with other courageous characteristics and behaviors. Those other characteristics and behaviors included vision, perseverance, and continuous learning. By understanding dimensions of the theory and model that emerged from this research project, other college and university administrators can consider the development of their own courageous capacity needed to lead significant change at their institutions.
