Great Example

Today, I witnessed one of the best leadership acts from the head of facilities at my school.  He was in conversation with a woman working for the college and she asked if the back door could be unlocked during business hours so they could use it.  After this request, the head of facilities finds a nearby chair and makes the call right then and there to resolve the issue.  This struck me because he is a very busy man who took the time to listen and care.  More importantly, he resolved it right away rather than saying, "Oh, I'll take care of that later" which is a common response of busy leaders.  

He gets it.  

He has mastered the skill of taking the time when you have it and not pushing it to the back burner just because it's not an emergency.  

I am blessed to be surrounded by such strong leaders.
