Description
Academic structures are complex and can be very hierarchical. For example, some health science schools at the UW have more than 30 departments and divisions (Medicine) and others have none or only two (Nursing) or three (Pharmacy). There are also many School-specific and interdisciplinary research and training centers. Faculty are hired into multiple roles and titles within the University. Successful navigation of these complex and changing environments requires skilled leadership. In this session, will use a Liberating Structure called “Celebrity Interview” to interview the former Interim Dean and current Vice Dean of the UW School of Pharmacy about her leadership journey in academia.
This is the third session of the Team Science Seminar Series 2024–2025.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Discuss leadership styles and how to adjust styles based on context.
- Describe challenges inherent in academic leadership that impact personal values, positional roles, and institutional rules.
- Discuss competing values and demands in academe that can constrain a leader’s ability to be their best self.
- Identify ways that academic leadership has changed over the last 20 years.
Pre-Work
- Review the Liberating Structure of a Celebrity Interview to see how we will organize the seminar (this is a great teaching tool)
