Statement of leadership philosophy
1. Statement of Leadership Philosophy
Reverence for the lives and contributions of students, staff, faculty, and
community dealing with limited resources consistently continues to be the center of my
values. Reverence is needed in leadership because the term itself makes people think.
Saying the term Respect is often over looked. But when I say Reverence, people seem
to listen and re-evaluate their lives and their understanding of leadership. I believe that
after reverence for one another is discussed and established as the center, respect,
responsibility, and ultimately excellence are natural outcomes for any partnership or
relationship.
Through using reverence as the center of my values, I will apply the skills,
experience, knowledge, and abilities I have obtained through the mentorship of others in
higher education and the community, to each of the responsibilities of this career. Given
the fast pace changing environment of technology related education tools, innovation
should not be defined as is customarily related to technological change, but needs to be
defined as innovative application and collaboration within a framework of reverence,
respect, and responsibility between partnerships.
The responsibilities of this position include a broad experience in management,
learning, development, and organization. As a member of numerous councils,
committees, and taskforces that have specifically overseen policy, evaluation,
development, training, and face-to-face and online collaboration, my desire is to be of
service to helping the kingdom of God move forward on its pre-destined course. Having
worked as both an administrator and as a teacher I have the ability to organize vast
amounts of complex details into a coherent plan for the benefit of large communities and
individuals simultaneously.
My priorities are to first establish sound and enduring relationships of trust with
past, present, and future internal and external partnerships throughout the university
community. Once these relationships are strong and integral, the skills of budgeting,
assessment, training, reporting, technical writing, curriculum development, and
supporting and evaluating online learning opportunities and programs will only be a
means to the end of life-long learning for both internal and external customers and
partners.
I will expect all employees to understand and gain the attributes of viewing each
other with reverence and respect and doing more with less, creating and innovating with
limited resources, and deliberately generating an increase of innovative idea revenue. I
will know that employees, partners, community members, and other stakeholders have
received this vision and are gaining this attribute when the culture of partnerships within
the university match the positive culture without the university.
Every individual affiliated with the online learning program at BYU-Idaho can
expect me to be consistently innovative and reliable. Some leaders have an ability to
2. change for changes sake. Fewer leaders know how to change for the right reasons, where
the balance of being innovative and reliable is obtained through years of focused strength
building and weakness pruning.
