Organiational culture demonstarte team dynamics. Are all members see the ssame vision? Do they want to do the job or they are doing it for for the money? 

As educators, we play a vital role in developing students become professionals and self confidence. Students retain the information based on how we respnded to a situation, acted during uncomfortable discussion and just how we treat our colleagues. When they encounter similar situations, they will ask themselves: how did Professor ABC handled the situation. It is not what we say to them it is what tey see that they reetain the information.

As an administrator, it is important that I am able to articulate to my team that while our main responsibility is to educate students and prepare them to pass the boards, we also should be good stewards of the reosurces of the company. We are srill a business institution and requires financial support in order to carry out our obligations to our customers.

Eduprenurial is a great concept that all colleagues should know in the academia. As leaderss, we have the repsonsibility to balance acdemia and business. We have to admit students that meets the basic crietria to qualify for the program. Admission is revenue. Then, we have to keep our students and allow them to persist to graduate and get their degree. This is done by provising academic rigor and hiring qualified faculty members. We need to admit and mainatin students in order fot the organization to surived and provide stuent and colleague resources.

The biggest take away is "Attention is Retention". It is a basic human need to be recognized and given attention to. Students came b=from different backgrounds and has different needs. The best time to give attention to our students is when:

1. The missed a class

2. They failed the first test

3. Observe change in demeanor

4. observe a pattern.

These are examples that we can proactively address future withdrawals and attrition because we are recahing out to stidents at the very first indictaion that they are needing help.
