Explore effective leadership strategies for department chairs, blending modern psychology with Stone Age practices.

Description

Welcome to a transformative exploration of leadership tailored specifically for current and aspiring department chairs. ‘The Exemplary Department Chair’ delves into the multifaceted role of a department chair through two enlightening perspectives: modern psychology and the timeless wisdom of our Stone Age ancestors. This book serves as a comprehensive guide, offering essential insights to enhance your leadership effectiveness in an academic environment.

First, we will explore leadership theories established by psychologists and sociologists, focusing on their implications for small group dynamics. An academic department exemplifies a prototypical small group, where the chair’s role is crucial in steering collective efforts toward achieving departmental goals. By understanding the psychological principles that govern group behavior, chairs can adopt evidence-based strategies that promote collaboration, enhance motivation, and drive positive outcomes.

In the second part of our journey, we will venture back 20,000 years to examine how leadership was practiced in early human groups. Anthropologists and archaeologists have uncovered fascinating insights into the social structures and leadership dynamics of our ancestors. This perspective encourages modern leaders to reflect on the fundamental human traits that have persisted throughout history. By integrating some of these ancient practices into contemporary leadership approaches, department chairs can foster a more cohesive and engaged academic community.

The book is structured to facilitate understanding and application of its concepts. Below is a brief overview of the key themes and insights you can expect to find:
