Thriving In The Middle: Effective Stress Skills For Chairs, Tim Hatfield, Ph.D.

Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings

Chairs literally are in the middle of everything important going on in their departments. They do lead from the middle, but they also must cope with the unique array of stressors they face every day because of their role as chair. Many demands are directed at them from their department colleagues, students, and higher administration, regardless of whether sufficient time or resources exist to meet the demands. This hands-on, participatory workshop will help participants discuss and reflect on these inevitable stressors, with an emphasis on their preferred stress prevention and stress reduction skills.
