9/12/11 No Excuses for Not Planning
It's been said that "Failing to plan is planning to
fail." The mission of our institution does not change. We are usually glad
to be beholden to it. But, there are times when we allow excuses to creep in
about why we can't fulfill our mission... "We are too busy to..."
Busyness is our number one excuse, but it is always really about priorities. We
hide behind busyness but we must instead think about what must be done, what
should be done, what is getting done, when things are getting done, and- the
hardest- what must be discarded. In an age of increasingly limited staff time
and financial resources, something has to give- without sacrificing the
mission. So, yes, we DO have time to meet and strategize and prioritize because
we are more likely to fail to meet the mission otherwise.
