Scared of leadership? Me, too! I became a professor because I wanted to help, not to be in charge. I quickly and repeatedly learned that leadership is a component of everyone's job, whether they like it or not. Now I'm a department chair, in charge of faculty, students, and staff, a reaccreditation process, and countless daily decisions. I've experienced heartache, disappointment, conflict, and the occasional victory. I've learned what leadership is about, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'd love to tell you my story and how you can overcome your fear, just like I did.
