Tonight was another powerful class that demonstrated the power of writing and the power of collaboration. Today we practiced an interactive journal approach to Student Services and then we broke out into groups and had to present on the chapter we were given from Fullen's book: Leadership and Sustainability. Sarah and I had Chapter 4 that dealt with The New Work of Leaders and it talked about the need to change people's language in order to move from regressive interactions to progressive interactions. There were 7 ways to change one's language to promote progression. One of the most powerful for me was the transformation from complaining to commitment. But just exactly HOW does one go about getting people to stop complaining and simply commit to the common goal. n the end we need to foster leadership so that sustainability will come from more people being empowered and motivated to keep the interactions progressive rather than regressive.
