However, department chairs seem to be an exception. The nature of the role can create many forms of isolation, ultimately harming their health and wellness.Views from seventeen department chairs were collected as part of a research study in 2019 to learn about their leadership development experiences when first entering their roles. Although many spoke highly and positively of their journeys, the significant personal and professional costs of the position were resounding. In general, these academic leaders mentioned facing heavy workloads, high levels of responsibility, and demanding schedules, especially since most had multiple additional roles as practicing clinicians, researchers, and teachers. They noted working long hours and not having enough time for self-care. For many, resting on evenings and weekends was a luxury they could not often afford. As a result, these leaders reported feelings of isolation arising from their professional identity, their relationships, and themselves.The role of department chair was seen as a temporary step away from one's core professional identity as a clinician, researcher, and/or teacher rather than as a permanent step toward academic administration. The added workload of the chair role took time and capacity away from their other commitments, resulting in lower research productivity or compromising their professional practice. The trade-off was often made unwillingly. Many chairs described taking the chair role as “sacrificing” their true academic passion.The chairs who shared their experiences as part of the study believed their peers viewed them as outside influences, no longer part of the team. This newly felt isolation contributed to a perceived loss of humanity, making them seem more like a cog in the system than a person, colleague, and friend. They described the role as a lightning rod for addressing complaints, noting that they were rarely approached with positive feedback, which further strained relationships. For example, in cases where the best course of action for a department conflicted with a faculty member's self-interests, the resulting disappointment was projected directly to the chair, who acted as a mediator and absorber of negative feelings. Alternatively, faculty members expected chairs to problem-solve for them when, in reality, they often had no authority or control over the matter. These situations resulted in feelings of helplessness, both to address the issue and to manage unfair expectations.All department chairs noted sacrificing ","PeriodicalId":101228,"journal":{"name":"The Department Chair","volume":"35 2","pages":"22-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dch.30609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142316765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
