Why?
Given the complexity of today’s environment, it is not possible for any one individual to know the solution or
even define the problem.

Think Like a Leader• Share “your” strategic thinking. • Solicit ideas; be the one to ask, “why”• Be open to questions and push-back, and learn!• Promote knowledge, tools, and resources• Engage others to be the “Best Version” of
themselves• Consider transition or change as a “gift” that can
bring new and unexpected opportunities

Evaluating Others
• Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
• That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them
• And you have their shoes

Honor Your Word
Every time you break your word, you lose power. Successful leaders keep their word and their
promises. You can accumulate all the toys and riches in the world, but you only have one
reputation in life. Your word is gold. Honor it.
Sharif Khan

whole and not the advancement of one

HRSA on LeadershipLeaders are called to stand in that lonely place between
the no longer and the not yet, and intentionally make decisions that will bind, forge, move, and create history.
We are not called to be popular, we are not called to be safe, we are not called to follow
We are the ones called to take risks, we are the ones called to change attitudes, to risk displeasures, we are the ones called to gamble our lives, for a better world.
Mary Lou Anderson, HRSA (April 1970)
