Workplace power struggles can be publicly manifested in a number of ways: personal interactions, mass email, physical posture, etc. Want to get involved?
Ways to challenge the authority of your committee chair... Call a meeting and set the primary agenda items Arrive early and sit at the head of the table -- normally occupied by the Chair Conduct the business of the meeting (give handouts, ask for departmental reports, etc.) Rephrase what the Chair says in your own words (for everyone else's benefit) Be aggressive and doggedly defend your ideas, regardless of relevance Re-send (to the committee) mass email messages the Chair has already sent to the committee members. This is just a start. Be creative and seize the power.
