Good relationships forge partnerships across the college that are much stronger than the structure on paper. Managers still will need to be responsible for making certain decisions but they can make those decisions within the context of the relationships they have built in the organization. Relationships are the glue of the organization. Teamwork is the third theme. Several people with different perspectives and skills, working together on the same problems, come up with better solutions.
Service is the fourth theme.
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.
