What do faculty really want?
Time. It is the most valuable currency in academia.
Faculty and their departments have already taken stock of who they are, where they are going, and what they want to do. Your job is to support them in this effort.
Focus your efforts on making the best use of faculty time. Fight hard againstanything you see that is designed to consume theirtime.
Be the place on campus that ALWAYS says YES to faculty. Tell them you will try…work realhard at being a place that faculty learn they can go and get things done, not a place where they have to jump another barrier. Nothing is sacred if it interferes with these guiding principles.
"I believe that leadership involves serving faculty. The greatest compliment anyone can give me is, He helped me achieve my goal."
Ask faculty what they need then do your darn best to try and get it to them with as fewstrings attached as possible.
Work hard behind the scenes to get more resources and then show off that you are usingthe resources you have in really great ways.
Be a scholar in the area of teaching and learning.
Take faculty to coffee.
Be ready to take some lumps over IT security issues which again are near the top of ITmanager’s concerns. Inevitably tightening of IT security will distrupt what faculty are doing. Tryand push on both sides for some sanity and be prepared to get beat up a bit being in the middle.
Read everything you can about this field…then ponder and speculate what it means to you and your faculty. For example, social computing, wikis, folksonomies, webinars, redesign of space, etc., etc.
