3rd monday of january

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the third Monday of January.  "A day on, not a day off."  The Corporation for National and Community Service serves as a resource for developing community service programs large and small.  The commemoration of King's legacy occurs each year determined by the day of the month of January,  not on a specific date. It has that in common with local meetings and US Thanksgiving.   Reflecting on this commonality, isn't that a great way to remember the links between our gratitude and week-in, week-out opportunities to  promote justice and be a force of good?  Some additional quotes for "a little inspiration."

micromanaging

The TED talk by leadership expert Simon Sinek provides insight into the importance of trust in human relationships and organizations.  Inspiring words and good advice, especially for governments and nonprofits with small budgets and scarce resources.  Want to make the most of funds available?  Hire and empower good employees and don't micromanage them .  Are you an executive or employee feeling micromanaged by a board?  Consider whether or not the seven big questions are driving them. If not, seek help.   When considering the problem and costs of micromanaging, the lack of trust is the consistent theme.

considering the other view

1/10/2019

 
It is always helpful when when we consider the perspectives of others.  It enhances our ability to consider  a variety of viewpoints and get to better decisions. The "logic of politics / logic of administration" graphic below provides a handy visual for learners seeking to become familiar with the perspectives of elected boards and paid staff.  In addition to depicting points of view, the diagram literally shows "the gray area" and who is in a situation to be in-between.  From 1994, this is an oldie but a goodie.
