Administrators tend to think bigger.
That’s vision. That’s moving ahead. That’s progress.
To think bigger is to plan for bigger. To plan for bigger is to upset the apple cart, or perhaps more rightly, to put new tires on a larger box.
Then I ask myself how we got bigger, or at least why we have grown to this point.
And the question arises, is the smaller what we build on to get bigger?
The idea that understanding the great movement we have been a part of, that we would like to invite others into, that has been a great thing up until this point – is where we should start to figure out bigger.
Go back to go forward.
And perhaps in engaging in the excitement of the past, we will trust that the structure to hold the organism will be forthcoming. If we merely borrow someone else’s infrastructure, we may eliminate the very thing that makes for growth.
Be sure you know where you came from to get where you want to go.
