I have known Bart Caylor for years, and one thing has always been true. When Bart talks, leaders listen. They usually take notes and sometimes rethink their entire strategy. Know What You Don’t Know is Bart at his best. It is honest, insightful, and just disruptive enough to spark the kind of conversations higher ed needs right now. Bart encourages leaders to “Be curious. Be critical. Be willing to learn,” and that theme runs through every chapter. What I appreciate most is that he never pretends to have all the answers. Instead, he helps leaders ask better questions. He brings experience, humility, and just enough humor to keep you turning pages.
Higher ed leaders need this book. It is written with heart, clarity, and the kind of real experience that helps people and institutions move forward. Knowing Bart, every chapter was written with genuine care for the people he serves.
