- W2760094315 abstract "WiningWe met in the middle-halfway between her chair and my deanship. Actually, it was in a restaurant in Batavia, midway between Buffalo and Rochester, New York. There were only a few restaurants in town, but it didn't really matter which one we picked as long as the two of us could find a nice merlot and some decent cuisine to supplement the hours of talking that we had literally bottled up between Nancy's new job as chair and mine as dean.I had made the momentous choice to step away from 21 years at Buffalo State College to move up to a deanship at a smaller private college with a relatively new school of education. Having lived for most of my 50+ years in one locale and having devoted my professional career to one college, the offer to accept the deanship hurtled me into a leadership role for which I was well prepared by experience and talent but that I never could have guessed would have the emotional and spiritual impact that would send me into three years of soul searching and self-doubt. A fierce feminist and accomplished leader who had held various roles in higher education, I had already navigated the troubled waters of a mostly male profession. But I was truly unprepared for the feelings of alienation and even hostility I would encounter as a colonist in this foreign place. Not only was this a new job, but it also required that I locate a new home where I would stay during the week with only my faithful golden retriever for company and companionship. I would be completely apart from my significant other, my circle of friends, and all of my family. To hedge my bets, I rented a house and commuted on the weekends back to familiar old Buffalo. I was not at all prepared for the strange feelings that greeted me every day. For the first time in my professional career, I was an outsider in an entrenched, paternalistic college culture. I found little support from other college officers in a strange maelstrom of and not trust from the faculty I would lead.At the same time, I found, to my delight, that I could continue a close friendship with Nancy, my former colleague who was now facing the deer in the headlights phenomenon of becoming chair of my former department. When I had become chair six years prior to leaving for the dean's position, I couldn't believe that sixteen years and many different roles at the same college hadn't actually prepared me for the exigencies of being chair. Nancy was a world traveler, already highly accomplished in administration, having led our educational leadership major and having logged years as a principal and associate superintendent. Yet even in the same place and space we had shared for six years, Nancy was in for a perilous first season as chair.As the merlot worked its magic and we both relaxed, we shared Can you believe? and What an ass! and How did you...? The conversation was so freely expressive, so extemporaneous, so authentic, and so cathartic that we resolved to do it again at least once a month. We would help each other through the challenges of our new positions by meeting regularly to share our stories, give voice to pent-up anger, let tears flow, and give substance to strategies that might grow from our two minds rather than each of us relying on just one. We enjoyed both a good wine with dinner and a good whine about our lives and our many challenges as women leaders in higher education.As two women negotiating difficult times in new leadership roles, we were in the unique position of having shared a context, of having constructed the same department together, and-we learned to our joy-of having kindred spirits. Nancy was struggling to assert her leadership and juggle the thousand tasks that maintain the momentum of a large and complex department. She often found herself at odds with her dean, who was just one of a series of deans who landed like planes awaiting transfers and who was using this college as a stepping stone to the next more prestigious position (he soon left to become a provost). …" @default.
