There is a difference between service and servitude. I can freely choose to serve and understand service to be a higher calling in my work. But if I am required to serve by someone more powerful than I, my choices are limited and my spirit is not fully engaged in my work. The same thing happens if I give someone else the power to make me a servant or insist that someone else make decisions I could or should make myself. Communicate is the fifth theme.
Good communication ensures the success of meeting the challenges of change.
Good communication is essential to building productive relationships and ensuring the success of teams working together. Good communication is service and vice versa. Communication is essential to everything we do and we can never communicate enough with each other. I invite you to help us start and carry on discussions about these messages that we think are important to Lane's continued effectiveness in accomplishing our mission and goals as a community college.
