Situational leadership is key to having employees be motivated by you regardless of what style of leadership they would naturally tend to follow on their own.  Celebrating milestones helps others know how far along the path to new shared vision they have come, and just as importantly, to know how much further they have to go.  A successful vision must be easy for you to articulate as you share it with multiple audiences and those in the audience go on to successfully share it with others who need to help make it become a reality.

When soliciting and implementing customer service improvement suggestions from front line employees, don't forget the critical step of acknowledging their input and reporting back on how processes may have improved as a direct result of their feedback.

Sometimes student seek you out to vent about things they disagree with that are happening in other departments, it's vital to make sure they follow the "chain of command" when they need to seek redress, you don't want to unintentionally misrepresent to the student, especially if you don't have all the facts.

This has been a good reminder to answer student questions about credit transfer or program certifications with the same exact phrasing every time to avoid unintentional misrepresentations.

 

It's easy to unintentionally use a superlative when talking about your school's features, especially when you are talking with an extremely enthisiastic student, the table of acceptable and unacceptable phrases is a good reminder to be mindful to prevent accidental misrepresentation.
