I'm an SL in a big department that's mostly teaching focussed - we have loads of very new lecturers and not many SL and above. We aren't very good at retaining staff
I've been in leadership roles before and ended up broken and burnt out. So have managed to avoid any for a couple of years and have got on with supporting new staff and students, developing good teaching and picking up various committee responsibilities
There's some discussion around me taking on more of a leadership role again. The role under discussion for me is replacing someone who was excellent, actually wanted to do it and did the role for a year, was under such pressure and so unhappy they resigned.
How easy is it for people to just point blank refuse to take on a particular role in other places? Im resigned to having to take something on - just not this!
