Collaborators

Yesterday, our retiring seminary president spoke eloquent words that are a vision that we can all live by.

He shared that 15 years ago, when he became president, a former president said this to him, "If it isn't broken, it doesn't come across the president's desk."

Our now retiring president interpreted this statement to us this way.......

The president must look up from her/his desk to see all that ISN'T broken. If they keep their gaze only on what is before them, they will think that the whole system is broken. When in fact, all these gifted people are doing what is their's to do and making it all work.

Amy's spin.........
We must continually look up from our own work, to see how and if we are still relevant to our surroundings. We must continually look up from our own work to see that others are are making the bigger picture work as well. It doesn't all rest on the shoulders of one or two, or the bosses or the administrative team.

The good of the whole rests in the workings of each of us .....connected.....collaborative.......accountable.......joyful.......... doing what is ours to do.

And doing it well.
