Abstract: am a scientist-academician and therefore have had a rather lengthy career forming hypotheses, collecting data, analyzing those data, and making decisions concerning those hypotheses from a very data-driven perspective.Somewhere along the way I also became an academic administrator and have held administrative positions that have included stints as department chair, associate dean, dean, executive dean, and provost.One would think that given my background as a scientist that my administrative decision-making would be highly data driven.This has not always been the case, especially early in my days as an administrator when decisions were often made on a much more ad hoc basis, largely influenced by the case made by an individual or a group seeking the decision at the time.
