Managing the relationship with the Provost well, while still getting stuff done, must be hugely important to being an effective Dean. Thus, rather than "wast[ing] time looking up" material, maybe a few podcasts from a skilled leader would be worth the Dean's time. | |

People like that are typically offputting and not good at building relationships. Could they do better by asking others about the other people's research, thus building relationships? I think so. "How smart they are" will come out in the course of a sustained relationship. People who need to show they're the smartest in the room are typically not the most effective in the room. | |
| Aug 8, 2015 at 17:52 | comment | added | Philip | Your reply seems to mix some serious points with some raw cynicism. I will attempt to differentiate and answer the serious points. 1. Agreed most are too focused on research to care. But the modal behavior is not necessarily the most effective. Most research in my field is collaborative. Those who can communicate well will get more research done. | |
