This is so very different from the academic leadership culture in Asia, Hong Kong and mainland China for example. I so hope academic leaders will try to approach the Dean's role with kindness and humanity like you did, but many would not (in order to fit in), unfortunately. Maybe this would be different outside HKS, as scholars like you and Scott-Clayton (my former advisor) are just great human souls! Thanks for writing fun and relaxing reads like this!
