Vice Chancellor Newsom's reflections - Gary's role is to be a coach for the team with certain responsibilities which you can critique. One of the responsibilities is the Body of Knowledge - to keep us immersed in the concept. Do reality check from time to time. Concepts without application, concepts without results are no good. All reports will not be the same.
Excellence is predicated on continuous improvement.
Set the expectation. Planning is the theoretical concept. We have to apply before it becomes reality, then we have to assess it. Change champion - someone who is visionary. A lot has to do with our physical presence.
