Exorcising Some Devils, August W. Staub Aug 1984

Exorcising Some Devils, August W. Staub

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reflects on theatre administration as a form of leadership grounded in judgment, responsibility, personality, and practical experience.

The article addresses common concerns in departmental leadership, including rapid judgment, communication, delegation, and professional exhaustion, and reframes these concerns as conditions that administrators must manage directly rather than avoid. It emphasizes the role of a single accountable leader in drama department administration, especially where production, pedagogy, …

Administrative Burnout: A Woman’S Perspective, Lorayne W. Lester Aug 1984

Administrative Burnout: A Woman’S Perspective, Lorayne W. Lester

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines administrative burnout among women in higher education, with particular attention to theatre administration and male dominated university structures. It describes burnout as a condition shaped by workload, conflicting demands, isolation, limited support, and repeated challenges to professional authority.

It situates these pressures within communication administration and academic leadership by connecting personal experience to broader concerns about faculty governance, administrative support, professional identity, and organizational culture. …
