A Voice, A Vote, or A Veto
Campus leaders explain how a shared governance process can achieve genuine buy-in among decision makers, resulting in innovative strategies for both academic and administrative efforts.
Becoming a Resilient Listener and Speaker
The workplace is full of opinions. When one is expressed, others react with automatic responses (I like, I dislike, I agree, or I disagree). Then counter-opinions are given. We learn nothing from these exchanges except who is good at dominating others.
Shifting from Power to Collaboration: Realizing the Vision of Shared Governance
