Lorsqu’une décision administrative ébranle l’équipe, il est crucial de s’attaquer de front aux retombées. Pour relever ce défi :
- Ouvrez un dialogue. Animer des forums où les membres du corps professoral peuvent exprimer leurs préoccupations et se sentir entendus.
- Communiquez de manière transparente toute mise à jour ou annulation des décisions visant à rétablir la confiance.
- Mettez en œuvre des mesures de soutien comme des programmes de reconnaissance par les pairs pour remonter le moral.

To navigate the negative impact of an administrative decision on faculty morale, open dialogue for expressing concerns, communicate transparently about any updates, and implement support programs like peer recognition to rebuild trust and boost morale.

With over 30 years in education and a deep understanding of faculty dynamics, I approach challenging situations with transparency and empathy. I start by acknowledging the impact of administrative decisions on morale and actively inviting faculty to share their concerns. This open dialogue builds trust and demonstrates that their voices are valued. My focus then shifts to supporting faculty through reassurance and practical adjustments to ease transitions.

Very often it's not the decision in itself that's seen as disparaging. It's the way it is communicated! If we manage to explain the reasons for a decision, and show believingly that we listen to concerns and take them serious, we can alleviate some of the pain. Some decisions have to be taken quickly, but then you want to spend even more time explaining it and also considering concerns!

Administration must serve the university, not the other way around. If administrative decisions have negative consequences for the faculty or team work, strong and consequent efforts must be made to correct the decision to eliminate these negative effects. Communication with employees must always be transparent and authentic. There should be no doubt that the leaders are on the side of the employees. Employees' input should be gathered qualitatively and quantitatively (e.g., through feedback or forums). It is then the responsibility of the leaders to reach an agreement with the administration that resolves the issue. Since administration must serve academic purposes, it is essential that a poor decision be corrected.

First and foremost, an internal discussion should be conducted with the concerned colleagues and if required a formal representation be forwarded to the higher levels through proper channels like the Department Committee report on the contested issue, etc. Next, the same issue can be highlighted in the concerned employees association level meeting to pursue the issue further like by holding negotiations with the administration/management, to carve out extra action plans to express grievance in various democratic means and at last to pursue legal options to challenge the contested decision.
-
Never deliver a new administrative directive, or responsibility to the staff without first alerting them to the idea and gaging their reaction. If you’re not prepared for reactions, you’re delivery will be impacted.

Higher education institutions now operate within ecosystems which involve more demanding stakeholders. Leaders are now pressurised to listen to stakeholders and take necessary action. These actions may involve making decisions that may impact faculty morale negatively. I have found that faculty culture is crucial. If the culture is closed, any changes will be problematic. So, creating an infrastructure where trust exists throughout the institution is necessary.
