Leadership and Management in Transforming Dominant DiscourseI was lucky with this section. The issue came up when I was distracted by other things, and so I got to watch the process taking place in Naked Space. Now I want to go back and ask some important questions on leadership and management in naked space.
- Can you identify the stimulus that began the episode?
- Can you define the social setting and its ramification?
- Students?
- Online?
- Know each other?
- Like chat rooms?
- Was the first bite picked up?
- Can you identify a point in the episode when identities emerged and positions began to be taken?
- What's you leadership goal here?
- Maybe get the learning or working climate back on track without escalating the harm that at least some people perceive in the episode.
- Mull over the harm for future discussion and employee or student handling within their own naked space.
- Bring the issues that are perhaps hidden in the episode to awareness.
- If there are any clearly dictated rules by the law or the administration, bring those to awareness.
- MOST OF ALL, don't forget that this is an occasion for illocutionary understanding and for reaching out to other humans who share our community without hurting each other emotionally or in long-term learning and working relationships. Work and school, like marriage are best kept intact.
- Please don't delve into popularized pschoanalysis. It's easy. It's all around us. But the feelings that come out in such a naked space are deep and complex and we do not know each other well enough to mess with our psyches.
Try to stick to the issues.
- Try to exercise leadership in your offline comments, too. It's good practice for you. jeanne
