The Joys Of Administration, Patti P. Gillespie Oct 1986

The Joys Of Administration, Patti P. Gillespie

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the challenges and satisfactions inherent in academic administration, offering pragmatic reflection rather than empirical analysis. Using the metaphor of “joys” to structure the discussion, the author outlines four dimensions of effective administrative practice: the job itself, the self, the objectives, and the necessity of humor. The argument emphasizes the variability of administrative roles, particularly department chair positions, which may range from primarily managerial to deeply academic or externally oriented. Successful administrators are characterized by congruence between personal strengths and institutional needs, as well as the capacity to delegate tasks strategically. The essay critiques the common reversal of …

Administrative Style And The Small College Context, Joseph W. Macdoniels Oct 1985

Administrative Style And The Small College Context, Joseph W. Macdoniels

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the distinctive administrative challenges faced by leaders of small college communication programs and argues that prevailing managerial models are poorly suited to the values and structures of these institutions. It begins by distinguishing administration, management, and leadership, noting that contemporary higher education privileges managerial thinking oriented toward efficiency, control, and product driven outcomes.

To him they look for most of the leadership in their deliberations as well as for the subsequent execution of institutional affairs. He is the pivot around which revolve the activities …
