Communities become vibrant and thrive when individuals are empowered to share their gifts. By leading with good will and warm heartedness, administrators invite people to be themselves.  This cultivates an environment where it is safe to listen and dialogue with others - to share thoughts and creative ideas in the search for common ground and practical solutions.

Gifted administrators are skilled communicators. Yes, they know how to speak, but mostly they know how to listen. They build trust by using mindful feedback practices and demonstrating confidence in others. And, they are adept at balancing the good of the whole with the needs of the individual.
