“Change”, I call on the wisdom of Union General John Pope, “Success and glory are in the advance, disaster and shame lurk in the rear.”

“Supervision”, I call on the wisdom of the late U.S. Army General Sam Wilson, “In God I trust, everything else I check.”

“Conviction”, I favor the words of Dag Hammarskjold, “Never for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your convictions.”

“Shared decision-making”, I favor the wisdom of author Ken Blanchard, “The problem we found is that asking inexperienced members of ad hoc study groups, focus groups, and strategic planning teams to participate in decision-making, amounted to requesting the advice of ‘pooled ignorance’”.
