Leading change as a chair can be challenging, especially when balancing administrative expectations with supporting faculty. In this session, chairs will explore Kotter’s 8-step change model, discuss how to balance empathy with accountability, and walk through practical strategies for communicating difficult decisions, maintaining trust, and helping departments move forward effectively. You’re welcome to eat your lunch during the session and participate in thoughtful conversation.
