Leading Persuasively During Crisis
Leaders are called on to offer insight and assistance in a variety of settings, but in no setting is good leadership more important than in the midst of crisis. Good leaders know how to share their ideas not only with a friendly audience, but also in the company of skeptics or critics. And those who wish to become leaders recognize that their performance in crisis may often open the door to additional leadership opportunities. In this interactive session, attendees will explore some of the tools of persuasion leaders should develop to make them more effective in crisis. Specifically, the persuasion of different audiences in crisis management, including in a legal crisis, will be addressed. Attendees will also discuss how criticism and feedback can be an effective leadership tool. And finally, the group will evaluate how to use persuasive language to gain leadership credibility even if you lack explicit authority amongst the crisis management team.
At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Identify tools for persuasion in crisis settings.
- Assess the role of critical feedback for an academic leadership team.
- Analyze the unique types of crisis communication that is persuasive to different audiences.

Increasing Work-Life Balance + Harmony
Managing it all is difficult: work, friends, family, self-care. Yet we think of “work-life balance” as the gold standard for a good life and we wonder, strive, and even frustrate ourselves in an effort to achieve it. That doesn’t sound like the good life to me. This presentation will help attendees think about work-life balance issues and offer scientifically-informed tools and strategies to get more harmony across all parts of life.

Council of Faculties Forum
This year’s COF Forum is dedicated to two critical issues that impact faculty at colleges/schools of pharmacy: shared governance and metrics to measure faculty performance. The COF Faculty Affairs committee is conducting an environmental scan to describe shared governance at colleges/schools of pharmacy, what rights and privileges faculty enjoy, and what differences exist between faculty based on appointment tract. The COF Rules and Resolutions Committee has formulated an AACP policy statement regarding the development and use of metrics—both productivity and quality metrics—to measure the practice-related activities of pharmacy faculty. Join the COF Administrative Board to discuss these important issues and help us shape the agenda for next year’s COF committees.
Self-governance is a cornerstone of academic institutions but it is unclear what rights faculty have and whether all faculty are equally represented. The Council of Facilities (COF) Faculty Affairs Committee was charged to explore issues related to faculty governance and identify best practices. During this presentation, Daniel Kennedy—the COF Faculty Affairs Committee Chair—will present the preliminary findings from the COF Faculty Governance survey as well as a review of the pharmacy and health professions literature to begin identifying best practices, common challenges, and potential solutions related to faculty governance.
