Senior faculty are leaders in the academy regardless of whether they ever choose to take on an administrative role. Leading through example, actions, committee work, mentorship, and new initiatives, they impact students, colleagues, departments, the school or college, and the larger university in a manner that sets the tone and defines the possibilities of the organization.  For most faculty, this reality is learned as a trial by fire, or is ignored or resisted.
