“Leading transformation is scary. It’s painful. It’s ugly. And it’s necessary,” said @LoweryHart. “Leading with love requires a different ethic. Leading with love will only expose deeper fissures that exist within an institution. Entrenched bureaucracy must give way to data and student voices.”
Thank you, @DiverseIssues, for recapping yesterday's powerful lecture. Leading with love has the potential to transform community colleges and institutions, one meaningful change at a time. #DHL2024
