Some questions to ponder• Do you have a passion to make a difference?
• Do you see opportunities where others see problems?• Do you act on them?• Can you place the needs of the unit above your own?• Even small improvements matter• There are certain things only the leader can do
• Do you delight in other people’s success?• Can you take responsibility but not credit?• Does not mean you are completely selfless

Which is your leadership style?• Machiavellian (command and control)
• Authoritarian: better to be widely feared than loved
• Charismatic, Visionary, Passionate• Best: focus on task and people• Danger: focus on people but not task
• stress
• Bureaucratic• Motivates by appealing to rules
• Transactional• Uses self-interest of followers in exchange for loyalty

Leadership styles• Which leadership style works best is largely situational
• Units vary widely• Traditions, structure, goals and aspirations
• Successful leaders use a combination of styles
• Common denominator of success: passion and vision• Others act as a gate keeper

Establishing your style
• Develop a powerful vision• But, don’t let your vision outpace your relationships• Lots of folks have great ideas but
10
“Vision without implementation is hallucination”
Ben Franklin
• Be the proverbial swan• Cool, calm and confident in a crisis• Very little turns out to be the emergency that folks portray it to be

Some pragmatics: working with others
• Inspire partnership and trust• The more people know you, the more they will trust you
• Identify black holes and energy hogs• Confront problem folks immediately
• “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” (Maya Angelou)• Sometimes, the only way to change people is to change the people
• Learn to say no: be honest but not brutal

Some pragmatics: strategic issues• Don’t be an empty suit at meetings• Don’t become deluded by “the way it should be”
• You need to play the hand you are dealt• If you believe the environment can be improved, don’t complain, act
• Don’t be surprised by• How very different people’s views can be on the same issue• How slow the university can be • How creative our colleagues can be

Some pragmatics: personal issues• Leadership roles demand excellent health, EI and resilience• Prioritize life balance
• Health and family; then work
• Make your spouse or partner a confidant• What you say and do is watched with great scrutiny
• Be clear and consistent—develop your elevator speech
• One thing at a time (focus)• There is always one more thing (go home)
• Most important, be authentic!

Reflections
• Don’t let your position define who you are• Don’t be afraid to move on
• Anyone who desperately wants to keep their job has no leverage• Money should not be the primary motivator
• Your legacy• When is it time to step down?• Your accomplishments
• Most important: The success of the folks you help along the way

People, Purpose and P lace
“As an experienced dean, I have come to appreciate that along with fiscal challenges and rapidly changing structures of higher education come unique opportunities to engage in creative strategic planning that include the development of a philanthropic culture, the implementation of organizational efficiencies, and most importantly the creation of working environments that encourage faculty, staff, students, administrators, alumni, and donors to work together to achieve common goals and fulfill the honorable mission of public research universities.”

Lessons from History
“He that fights and runs away, may turn and fight another day; But he that is in battle slain, will never rise to fight again.”

On the power of kindness…
Of all the things I have learned in my lifetime, the one with greatest value is that unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly and most underrated agent of human change. Competition will improve quality and lower costs. Confidence will enable us to climb a mountain instead of a molehill. But kindness that catches us by surprise brings out the best in our natures.
-- Bob Kerry

Leadership styles

• Depts/schools/colleges vary widely

Reflections on leadership styles
• Machiavellian• Authoritarian: rule by fear• Little concern for people
• Charismatic, Visionary, Passionate• Best: focus on task and people• Danger: focus on people but not task
• Bureaucratic• Motivates by appealing to rules
• Transactional• Uses self-interest of followers in exchange for loyalty

On the power of kindness…
Of all the things I have learned in my lifetime, the one with greatest value is that unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly and most underrated agent of human change. Competition will improve quality and lower costs. Confidence will enable us to climb a mountain instead of a molehill. But kindness that catches us by surprise brings out the best in our natures.
-- Bob Kerry
