Lindsey treated those lower on the ladder as pawns to get what she wanted. This was not the Lindsey who first came to campus. If Lindsey had taken the advice given to me by the former chancellor, she might have kept her soul intact. Don't try to be someone you're not. Remember that the higher you go up the ladder, the greater can be the fall.
Character matters more than rank.
Hold to your core values and make your decisions based on them. That way you'll like the reflection you see staring back at you in the mirror. The higher your position, the more opportunity you have to serve others. Treat everyone with kindness. Be quick to apologize when you step out of line.
