AND that can be a slippery slope. One in which I will be more cognizant of how information is shared up too.

After reading "Herding Cats in University Hierarchies" (Hammond, 2004) I have more empathy for high-level administrators and ways in which they make decisions through filtered or diluted information. #VTOrgTheory

I also understand that it’s a give and take as you try to deconstruct and reconstruct the system. It’s tricky. #VTOrgTheory

Normative isomorphism of job titles shows up constantly in SA, but when I’ve tried to push for title/pay changes to reflect that I’m met with “it doesn’t matter what the title is” my new response will be “please see Manning, 2018 p. 119 and tell me I’m wrong”.

[Jessica Davis @Jes1SDavis]

@LmadarasThomas I think, we think we do, but the actual environment isn’t conducive for it.

My new favorite definition of leadership “innovatively flirting with with organizational boundaries” (Manning, 2018, p. 184) #VTOrgTheory

[Jessica Davis @Jes1SDavis]

These two types of leadership seem to always be pulling at one another with written and unwritten rules in the workplace. #VTOrgTheory

[Jessica Davis @Jes1SDavis]

On “structure of professional employment” and the example on teaching centers (Rhoades, G. And Slaughter, S., 2004)…maybe it’s time for us to redefine the notion of “the experts” altogether. #VTOrgTheory

Reorganizations can be an emotional process that many times we miss how to effectively and appropriately engage faculty, staff, and students. #VTOrgTheory

@NikiMessmore The evolved gargoyle.

[Jessica Davis @Jes1SDavis]

@NikiMessmore You should. The last few seasons on grey’s the acting felt really forced when addressing current events/social justice issues. But it’s seems less so on Station19.

Tomorrow, March 17, is the third @virginia_tech Well-Being Day. There are plenty of activities offered by @StudentsAtVT (virtual and in-person) for #Hokies to partake in. Check out the list and register for events via GobblerConnect. https://t.co/0u4xhylfWd

[Jessica Davis @Jes1SDavis]

@NikiMessmore I mean idk if you’ve given Station 19 a try seemed like not something you watched in another response to the thread, but I enjoy it.

[Jessica Davis @Jes1SDavis]

@NikiMessmore You have nothing to be sorry about. This was a poor decision on their part. Again. This whole season has been either high anxiety from the COVID plot or a weird direction to go in IMO.
