Without diving into the politics of the protests, how would you describe the University leadership’s response that that are experiencing the demonstrators on their campuses?

What can we learn from these demonstrations as leaders in our own fields?

This current round of protests is useless and senseless. The purpose of protests is to try to prompt change by bringing attention to a situation or issue that you disagree with. What do these protesters want to achieve? End the war in Gaza. Good. Nobody likes war. Only problem is, the government that might listen to them -- the U.S. government -- isn't involved in that war and the government that is -- Israel's -- doesn't care what a bunch of Palestinian-sympathizing, Jew-hating college kids want. Their passion and efforts could be spent on so many more worthwhile causes -- education, homelessness, hunger, health care, etc. It seems they want to protest something they know they have no control over because they just want to play at protesting because Grandma Rainbow made it sound like so much fun.

I think this is really well said. They should be protesting/staging encampments in Washington DC if you ask me. What they’re asking colleges to do is ridiculous and no endowment is going to divest from their investments overnight. I think Northwestern University and Brown University came to reasonable resolutions with their students but also they didn’t resolve any real issues and certainly aren’t solving world peace.

How do you not dive into the politics, esp in this scenario?

Also this a history lesson. We saw same thing play out in the late 1960s on campuses…

If you assert excessive control over a situation, you will be the asshole

There’s power in numbers. It’s not a new lesson, or at least it shouldn’t be.

Agree with the first answer - how should we answer this without getting into politics?

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
