[quote=Anonymous]There's no trauma, as other Deal parents have said. From my perspective, the only noticeable change so far has been that communications come from a different person. Leadership transitions are really quite normal, and trauma is averted when an institution is accustomed to laying careful groundwork for all its plans, as Deal certainly is. The routines, policies, and procedures in which the faculty are so heavily invested continue to serve them well. We worry about leadership transitions around here because we tend to think that effective managers work magic by virtue of their creativity and personalities, but Kim was very much an investor in the development of thoughtful procedures to prevent the derailing of her sexier plans. I think that was the main secret to her success, and its a legacy that supports smooth transitions. [/quote]
