Working with Problem Faculty
When asked to name their number one concern and problem, department leaders overwhelmingly said that it was dealing with difficult people. Now R.

- Following policy
- Building trust with colleagues

By following these six steps, department chairs are able to challenge problem faculty with consideration, confidence, and effectiveness.
