Change

THANK YOU to everyone who provided feedback on Tuesday Readings.  A key theme we saw is approaching our leadership journey with a growth mindset.

The smile of a centenarian connecting to family defines value better than a balance sheet. Mindset, skillset and toolset catalyzed this effort.

What we've heard from 500+ leaders across higher ed on the lessons learned from the last eight weeks.

Take the initiative to influence and engage to attain organizational goals - regardless of your role or position in the workplace.

Tuesday Readings for the past four weeks have focused on how we can best work during the pandemic which now envelops all of us. Brian McDonald began this series by urging us to “get on the balcony to think strategically and play out the different scenarios.” He also noted that “communicating is a key responsibility” and urged leaders “to be self-observing about how you lead.”

In my experience coaching, teaching, and leading, one of the greatest limits to our potential are self-defeating assumptions.  In the words of the great automotive pioneer Henry Ford, Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.
