89: Joyce Russell (Villanova / AACSB) on Negotiating Compensation

In today’s episode, we hear from Joyce Russell, the Helen and William O'Toole Dean of the Villanova School of Business (VSB) from 2016 to 2023. Under her leadership, her college strengthened faculty research output, enhanced student programs, upgraded facilities, and established programs aligned with Villanova's Augustinian mission. She expanded alumni efforts and employer connections with the college, while driving fundraising and celebrating the school's centennial year. Today, Joyce has rejoined Villanova’s faculty as Dean Emeritus and serves as a Professor of Management and Operations. Joyce is also a Licensed Industrial & Organizational Psychologist and Executive Coach. For over three decades, Joyce served as an executive coach in the c-suite. More interestingly though, she has extended her practice over the last decade to also spend time coaching business school deans and provosts. In addition, Joyce has also set up a new program in collaboration with AACSB called “The Dean’s Journey” which we will hear about in this episode – a program intended to help deans as they start new deanships. Joyce lends her expertise on several subjects, including:- internal vs external salary negotiation- the right time to negotiate- the renewal process- the importance of getting it in writingLearn more about Joyce Russell.Comments/criticism/suggestions/feedback?
