Pursuing an education is a political act. Working in a registrar’s office means providing service. In the currently divisive political climate, with an ever diversifying student (and faculty and staff) population, how can we provide the kind of servant leadership our communities need?
Key Takeaways:
- Being a servant leader is about treating people with respect, putting others’ needs ahead of your own, listening, being empathetic, and building community.
- The coming years are going to be a challenge for higher education and so each of us needs to take care of ourselves, but also look out for and support one another. That includes our staff, faculty, and students.
- Engaging in positive action outside the office can help maintain a sense of control, a sense of purpose, and a commitment to service.
