So…So…Ten Lessons I have Ten Lessons I have

Sometimes the “HARD WAY”
![Page 22: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lesson #1
There are lots of “bosses”; there are fewer leaders. (Learned from my little brother when I was 11 and he was 8).
![Page 23: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lesson #2
The word “administrator” comes from the Latin root words: “ad” and “ministrare” and means to serve or take care of.
![Page 24: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lesson #3
When a person moves into a position of power, s/he gets a bigger head or a bigger heart; s/he rarely remains the same. (Taught to me by Sister M. Alma, RSM, when I was in the convent).
![Page 25: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Managers do things right; Leaders do the right thing.
Lesson #4
![Page 26: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lesson #5
Men and women lead differently; one is not better than the other, just different.
![Page 27: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Lesson #6Lesson #6
Get the right people on the bus and the wrong people off the bus and the right people in the right position on the bus…and you can take the bus anywhere.
(Major premise of the book Good to Great by J. Collins)
![Page 28: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Lesson #7
Make sure that everyone is rowing in the same direction!
![Page 29: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Lesson #8
Communicate, communicate, communicate. Have clarity and consistency in your message.
![Page 30: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lesson #9:
Be generous with praise, and stingy with blame.
![Page 31: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Lesson #10
It is lonely at the top…even if the service is better. (Told to me by Dr. Aaron Lazare, former dean at UMass).
![Page 32: Reflections on Leadership Lessons](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681420a550346895dadf8b8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What happened at UMass Memorial in 2001-2002? Passed JCAHO Settled all Union contracts Filled all Chair positions Ended year with $9M surplus (Whew!) Superb new CEO arrived after 10 months! (whew) Dean welcomed me back as “his” chair with open arms Fellow chairs cheered when I came back as “one of the
guys!” but… The department of pediatrics took about 4 months to
accept me back! (sigh) and now 7 years later, UMMS and UMMHC and Department all thriving and I grew immensely.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails, and explore.
