Maxims to Live By • Work with an abundance rather than a scarcity model. • Skimp on quantity not quality. • Take the long view. • Stop doing something! • Obscurity is not useful. • Look outward to see where you can be of service. • Focus on collaboration, not competition. • This too shall pass. • Celebrate small successes. • Trust your people.
Consider Your Faculty • Lifting the human spirit is critical. • Focus on productive work. (Teaching, advising, sharing) • Only burden them with what they can legitimately address – someone should get to sleep at night.
