https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt How are conflict and courage related? When have you had to show courage in your work? What conflict do you anticipate in your leadership project? What are your concerns about leading through conflict? en-us 2023-06-12 16:23:19 UTC 2023-06-14 20:42:37 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623732627 I feel like what I want to do is straightforward. Why hasn't anyone done it yet? Is it harder than I think? Will no one want me to do this?]]> 2023-06-14 19:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623732627 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623733614 I worry about buy-in from other faculty members (Are they willing to participate in a project...including those outside the scope of their own expertise), students (in particular students of color) [Will they trust me in assisting them with embarking on a research project?] (and students who are at the beginning stages of their mathematical journey) and buy in from industries (Are they willing to invest time and energy in making these projects a reality?). ]]> 2023-06-14 19:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623733614 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623733756 Time management
Getting buy-in from my colleagues--we are having issues getting white males to participate in any way in DEI--it just isn't a priority or a perceived issue for them.]]> 2023-06-14 19:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623733756 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623735243 People have to be courageous enough to bring the conflict into the open and then to resolve it effectively. Passive-aggressive conflict is still conflict, but it's not resolvable in any kind of useful way.]]> 2023-06-14 19:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623735243 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623735385 It can feel uncomfortable- I have strong emotional and physical reactions in conflict. I have found meditating ahead of "tough situation" helpful- but when they surprise me, I can be thrown off!]]> 2023-06-14 19:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623735385 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623735463 Strong emotions stemming from conflict must be navigated in such a way as to not cloud judgement or break down effective communication]]> 2023-06-14 19:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623735463 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623736451 Conflict frequently involves taking risks, whether it's expressing a dissenting opinion, challenging the status quo, or pursuing a goal despite potential obstacles.

I wonder how academic structures hamper our ability to do this (i.e. being pretenure as opposed to having tenure)]]> 2023-06-14 19:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623736451 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623739832 My stress reactions are typical for a woman in this culture: I cry. If I don't manage to hide it, then it looks weak. So then I go off and spend an hour in my room at a conference or in my office screaming to a friend -- if I'm lucky and hold it together.]]> 2023-06-14 19:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623739832 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623758436 I expect there to be perhaps some mistrust, which might introduce conflict. 

Also I'm trying to encourage students and faculty to apply for opportunities-- but all of these are very competitive, many people I encourage to apply will *not* get funding. I am thinking I have to do more than just encourage application, there is an element here about support that needs to go further. ]]> 2023-06-14 20:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623758436 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623758946 Having enough time to digest and react appropriately to the the conflict.]]> 2023-06-14 20:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/vj9szsevftn7q1qt/wish/2623758946
