Scenario

When new team members challenge established norms

Our department hired three new faculty members this year who are all asking questions about things like workload distribution and committee assignments that those of us who've been here longer just accepted as 'how things work.' Their questions are legitimate but they're also making some senior colleagues defensive, and I'm caught between wanting to support change and not wanting to rock the boat.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Fresh perspectives can expose problematic patterns that existing members have normalized, creating tension between change and stability.
