Leading with Excellence
Faculty members across the Mānoa campus face unique challenges as they transition into Academic Leaders, whether as an Executive, Dean, Associate Dean, Department Chair, Graduate or Undergraduate Chair, Program Chair, or Director. The University is committed to providing support, resources and training to faculty members as they transition into these Academic Leadership roles.
The Leading with Excellence conference will provide current and newly appointed Academic Leaders the ability to gain a better understanding of what their roles require of them, sharpen their leadership skills and leverage their skills and vision to move their departments forward. The Leading with Excellence conference will also provide the opportunity for Academic Leaders to develop their leadership networks and exchange experiences with leaders across campus.
The conference will host strategic sessions in which Academic Leaders can engage in comprehensive discussions on how to drive growth and success at UH Mānoa grounded in the reality of the current Academic settings.
Workshop topics were chosen based on feedback we received from current and prospective Academic Leaders, along with trending issues our office has observed. To ensure each workshop addresses the topic at hand and is designed to provide hands on skills development for attendees, each Speaker has been asked to develop a presentation that provides tips and tools, allows for collaboration and participation, and engages the audience.

Recruitments: What are common pitfalls and strategies we can implement to improve our recruitment process
Linda Voong, Executive Search Coordinator
At a glance, we will review common recruitment practices and dissect pitfalls departments often encounter (i.e., developing job descriptions, minimum qualifications, on-campus visits, known candidates, conflict of interests) and strategies to address these pitfalls. The goal of the workshop is to allow attendees to walk away with a plan to improve our recruitment processes and be more cognizant of how impactful each phase of the recruitment process is in hiring the best qualified applicant.
The Importance of Communications
Dan Meisenzhal & Brent Suyama
Higher education, science and research have been under attack for decades in the United States. This workshop aims to explain why, now more than ever, a commitment to communications is critically important to the future of higher education as recent polling shows that more than half of Americans don’t believe a college degree is worth the money. If we donʻt tell our stories, no one will. The workshop will also explain the services the UH Office of Communications is committed to providing to all UH units, how to best engage with the communications office and what faculty and researchers can do to tell their stories in a compelling and timely way for internal and external audiences.
De-Mystifying Performance Improvement for Tenured Faculty
Teresa Kono & Dwight Takeno
“I have to wait four more years till their next periodic review before I can address this performance issue,” “Even if I identify deficiencies, nothing will happen to them because they have tenure, so what’s the point?” We have heard it all when it comes to the false narratives surrounding performance improvement for a tenured faculty member. This workshop helps to correct some of the misinformation and will provide you with a better understanding of the processes available to you.
Handling Challenging Situations In and Out of the Classroom
Andrew Black, Theresa Critchfield, Teresa Kono, and John Zuern
As an institution of higher learning, we encourage our students to think critically, and engage in a healthy exchange of ideas. Unfortunately, discussions, demonstrations, and peaceful protests surrounding controversial topics can sometimes become contentious. We have put together a panel to help you navigate through challenging situations both in and out of the classroom. This panel will provide guidance and advice on how to assess a difficult situation, de-escalate a heated conversation, address feelings and concerns related to “safety,” identify when DPS assistance is needed, and direct students to appropriate resources.
Fostering a NH place of learning: Building pilina (relationships, connection)
Kaiwipini Punihei Lipe
UHM has a goal of becoming a Native Hawaiian place of learning. How can leaders of all backgrounds begin to do this? This workshop will provide some tools to begin (or continue) this journey.
Faculty Reclassification Workshop by School/College
Laura Lyons , Paul McKimmy and Linda Voong
Participants of this session have been pre-assigned and should register via a separate registration link.

In doing so, you can find yourself in an environment that will allow for you to engage with your peers and/or colleagues in an unstructured format – this will allow for peers across disciplines to get to know one another and potentially develop a network across the UH Mānoa campus.
Successful Meeting and Productive Conversations
Monica Stitt-Bergh
Jean Lipman-Blumen described the “academic algorithm” of faculty work as “knowledge work, dedication, ownership, and autonomy.” This algorithm is desirable, but qualities such as ownership and autonomy can make it difficult to lead faculty groups. These qualities may result in heated discussions, dissent, absenteeism, and ultimately hinder a unit’s collective efforts. In this session, I’ll introduce a couple overarching principles for successful meetings and productive conversations along with specific tips and strategies. There will be hands-on activities during this session. My goal is for you to leave with at least one idea to try with your colleagues.
Navigating Complaints and Grievances: Understanding the processes and what happens after something is reported
Panel: Teresa Kono,
As academic leaders face various complaints and grievances, many questions such as, what is my role and responsibility in addressing these complaints/grievances, who do I need to inform of such complaints/grievances, and what office handles/manages the myriad of complaints/grievances.
Attend this workshop to receive clarity in this process and gain an understanding of the various resources/offices that exist to help you answer the above questions.

Civil Rights and Title IX: A Primer for Deans/Directors on responding to prohibited conduct and complaints under the University’s new policies
Jenn Rose, Jenn Matayoshi, Kimber Deans, Jess Kaneshiro, & Jeanie Sohn
Deans, Directors, and Chairs play a critical role in creating welcoming, safe and intellectually vibrant departmental cultures and must be proactive in ensuring nondiscriminatory academic and work environments. As leaders, they are often exposed to a wide range of workplace issues where bias and discrimination may arise.
This workshop will provide a primer on:
- the University’s recently-updated civil rights policies and procedures regarding sex discrimination and other forms of prohibited conduct (EP 1204, EP 1202, AP 1202);
- the role of Deans/Directors and Chairs in responding to complaints and reports of discrimination and harassment; and
- Identifying and utilizing appropriate institutional responses to prevent and respond to allegations of prohibited conduct under University policies.
Information to Help Department Planning: Data at Your Fingertips
Monica Stitt-Bergh and Kelly Jung-ts Lin
The Mānoa Institutional Research Office (MIRO) created a self-service platform for department leaders to answer questions about their department and programs. These data can help leaders plan and monitor student and employee trends. This session will introduce MIRO’s platform, Decision Support, and help attendees answer questions such as, How long are students in my program taking to graduate? Has student enrollment increased over time? How many Native Hawaiian faculty are in my college/school? How many faculty in the department are over 61 years old? Attendees will practice using the platform during the session and get assistance as needed.
Please bring a laptop.
