Discription:
Department chairs can be “diference makers.”They can calmly address issues
before they become problems, maximize the talents of faculty, advance their careers, and position
their departments for a brighter future. Great chairs can make the department feel like an
academic home, a welcoming, exciting and fulfilling place to work. Yet decades of research has
shown that new chairs are rarely prepared with the knowledge and tools they need to do the job.
The Department Chair Field Manual addresses this issue by providing department leaders with
what they need to know and do to succeed from day one. What makes the book unique? First, it
helps chairs understand the situations they will face and then provides the action options they
need to succeed. Then it helps chairs understand and prepare for work in departments and
colleges replete with the human emotions and social-psychological dynamics that are typically part
of large complex organizations. The Department Chair Field Manual is concise, to the point and
concrete. What specific background data do chairs need before day one on the job? What do
chairs need to do daily to best manage budget, faculty workload, course schedules,
communications, and their multitude of meetings? Who do they need to know and gain the
confidence of on and off-campus? What moves can they make to successfully navigate through
the obstacles, issues and the unexpected in the bureaucratic terrain? What options have they
when they must deal with difficult people? How can chairs manage time, conflicting demands and
everyday stress? How can they determine who is friend or foe, what is a problem or opportunity,
when to retreat or advance, how to set objectives and plan their work to reach their goals? What
do they need to do to prepare for department meetings? What legal considerations must chairs
keep in mind? How can they best politically position their units and build strong departments? How
can they best work with their dean and gain the dean's confidence? How can chairs develop the
resources needed by their departments to innovate and create? And when time is very short, what
must chairs know the days before they start their new jobs?So that chairs will be equipped to meet
the challenges of leadership in these complex times The Department Chair Field Manual prepares
them to be the “diference makers”their departments and colleges need.
