This handbook examines the communication aspects of the management position in academia. Most academic department chairs are not trained in management skills, including communication strategies. While previous works have dealt with personnel and time management issues, this book illustrates how to communicate with faculty, students, consultation teams, and other administrators in ways that improve the workings of a department while decreasing the workload and tension that often accompany the appointment.

“This book should be in the library of every department head or aspiring department head. It treats the most vexing problems of a departmental administrator completely and competently.” ― Don Richardson, Auburn University
“There is precious little of value that talks about the process of chairing an academic department, and with the frequency of chair turnover there is need for material that can help new chairs to adjust to the job and anticipate what they may have to contend with over the span of a day, week, or semester.” ― William F. Eadie, California State University, Northridge
