17. STRONG VISIBLE PRESENCE – MANAGEMENT BY “WALKING AROUND” -

We believe in a ‘hands-on’ management style by being where the action is – observing, evaluating, analyzing, interacting, asking, probing, learning, and understanding the situation, problem, and needs.

We believe that change is constant. The increasingly rapid, intense, dynamic, and profound changing realities in the global and local community require us to continuously monitor our external and internal environment, to make adaptive decisions, and to constantly reinvent ourselves and our institution.

We believe in the “Network” organization where communication is not only horizontal, but vertical, lateral, and diagonal. A learning organization has open communication channels that enable sharing of information and giving of feedback in a timely manner to improve decisions.

We believe that the learning is lifelong and that a person will have continuing learning needs throughout his or her lifetime to enable him or her to live a productive, fulfilled, and happy life.
