Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 87, No. 07 (March 2006): 521-522.
Barry Jentz
Gaining trust and credibility as leaders -- the very foundation of successful leadership -- requires discovering and closing gaps between what we think we do and what we actually do, says Mr. Jentz.

Embracing Confusion: What Leaders Do When They Don't Know What to Do
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 86, No. 05 (January 2005): 358-366.
Barry C. Jentz and Jerome T. Murphy
Even capable managers regularly face baffling problems that have no easy answers. Rather than admit their confusion, many managers hide or deny their confusion, making the problem worse. Drawing on their experience with managers in many fields (including public and higher education), Jentz (consultant and author) and Murphy (former dean of the Harvard School of Education) outline a methodology they call Reflective Inquiry and Action. RIA helps managers come to grips with their confusion and use it as a starting point for transformational learning and improved decision making.
