This book would not have come to fruition without the encouragement and support of many individuals. Among them my family, including my mother, wife, and children who understand and appreciate the life and work of an academic the co-authors of this book who were my former PhD students and are now my colleagues, and my students who gave valuable input when a draft of this book was used in class.

Also many thanks to Nick Wallwork and the team from John Wiley & Sons for getting this book published.

I would like to thank my mother, my wife, and my children for their patience during all this time, for their faith that I could do this difficult task, and for their spirit in always telling me that willpower will destroy all the obstacles in front of us. Thanks also to my guru, Professor Dato’ Dr. Mohd Azmi Omar, who has taught me how to be a better person in this university of life.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to my family—my parents; my wife (a pediatrician); my three children, Hanifah, Fakhruddin, and Azmi—for their love and support and for inspiring me. My special thanks go to Professor Azmi, from whom I learned a great deal about the supervision approach, the teaching approach, and the motivation approach. His methods were precious lessons to me when I served as a lecturer at Airlangga University, Surabaya, Indonesia.
