Four meetings today. All big and emotional. Two of them I led. In one I stood up to the administration in front of the accreditation commission.
In addition, four one-on-one conversations with people who are afraid they’ll lose their jobs. Which, as you can imagine, is very draining.
An angry confrontation with a former colleague who thinks I’m somehow to blame in this debacle. (Obviously, I was not the angry party in the interaction).
Also, two meetings with students on unrelated issues.
I also made fresh blini at 5:50 am of which I myself can’t eat even one.
And.
In the midst of all that.
I got some really good writing done for my book.
That’s what I call discipline.

This is inspiring. They are doing layoffs at my place of employment and I delight in asking questions that are genuine and reflect the views of those around me who are too afraid to speak. As if silence will save their jobs. But leaders shut down discussion pretty quickly. Feedback is not allowed. I admire your tenacity and brazen approach.
You are a true leader.
