Two first-person narratives explore the tenure process from the perspectives of a leadership practitioner/ scholar and a clinical counsellor. Vygotskian (1978) social constructivism contributes to analysis of one narrative as self-leadership through facilitative inner speech. Analysis of the second narrative draws on Tuckman's (2001) explanation of group dynamics as a framework for generating curative processes, as identified by Yalom (2005). Both narratives highlight intrapersonal challenges and strategies but joint analysis leads to recommendations for organizational development. The authors situate their stories within a hopeful vision of universities as learning communities, with greater integrity of purposes, expectations, and reward processes.
