Navigating Change: The Podcast from Teibel Education
41: What Makes a Great CAO?
Academics represents the heart and soul of the mission of a great institution. And yet, even in service of that mission, the best chief academic officers understand the constraints defined by financial realities. This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright discuss traits and characteristics of the best CAOs, and share insights on the spirit of academic collaboration that serves the mission in challenging times.
40: What Makes a Great CBO?
The relationship between the CBO and the institution is a powerful one. But making the transition between the role of manger to leader becomes representative of the responsibility of the role to the institution beyond the business office. This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright discuss the traits of good business officers and look at how the great one’s challenge assumptions and become leaders of strategy.
37: Setting Standards & Managing Expectations
The result of bringing together terrific individuals into a team can be a fantastic, productive foray into high caliber collaboration. Over time, we see formerly high-capacity teams begin to fray at the edges and defining clear standards and expectations both inside the team, and across teams and departments, can help to offset challenges.
36: New Year, Old Woes?
It’s 2014 and we’re slowly coming back to work after a break. But what are we returning to? Today’s headlines on the Chronicle of Higher Ed report backlash against presidents making too much money and the way that information is reported to donors, tough odds on tenure-track jobs, and a New Year’s Eve piece at NPR excoriates online education — a tool for some institutions to revitalize excitement — and enrollment — in their programs. But the nature of change is challenge, and there is much to look forward to in the coming year. This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright share thoughts on what’s to come, and how you can approach your challenges as an opportunity for change.
34: The Three Flavors of Transformation
Transformation is a powerful word, one we're tempted to use across our catalog of projects designed to produce change in our teams or organizations. But precision of language counts in our change projects, especially when it comes to setting expectations for teams that are going to be impacted the most. This week on Navigating Change, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright talk transformation, and the developmental, transitional, and transformational change we seek.
33: Making Difficult Decisions for Senior Leadership
Decision-making is a difficult skill for any team, but at the senior leadership or board level, making difficult decisions brings with it the weight of the institution.

12: How do you increase productivity without carrying a big stick?
It’s easy to say you want to cultivate an environment of collaboration and communication on a team. It’s another thing all together to actually achieve it. When you are faced with team behavior that’s in the dumps, how do you pull the right people together, inspire that spirit of innovation, and get people working together again without getting mired in politics and frustration?
5: The New Leader in Town: Create Impact and Deliver Results as a New Leader to your Team
