One way to mitigate the challenges of this high-stakes approach is to identify a second leader who can serve in the role of mentor, coach or Co-Chair alongside the new Chair. The Co-Chair may be a leader who has served as a Department Chair in the past and/or who is serving in another middle-management position such as a Chair from a different department, Director, or Associate Dean. During a time of tremendous change and uncertainty, the Co-Chair may provide additional support and stability while also helping the new Chair understand and practice their new roles and responsibilities. During this session, a Chair and Co-Chair will share their experiences, and session attendees will be invited to participate in an interactive discussion.Item The challenges and rewards of co-chairing a department: Lessons learned from leaders in the middle: Part 2(New Prairie Press, 2022) Trujillo-Jenks, Laura; Anderson, GinaNewly appointed Department Chairs are often on their own to learn “on the job” the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed.
