Editor's Notes
WIIFWhat ideal would you like to hearken to?Today we’re going to ask you to pick one of your own choosing. We’ll use the one you pick as idealized influence. You We’ll use Bass and Riggio’s other three – individualized concern, inspirational motivationJudith’s note was: Evolation (spell out like dictionary pronunciations, then define actually ))) 1) non gradual upward movement 2) flying up or out ***Judith, I didn’t find anything reflecting the first definition!!! I morphed this from your dissertation: The term, “Evolating”, indicates a non-gradual upward movement, flying up or out, the act of flying away.”***
Do as a buildI am going to have them vote and measure me against this in coming year—you may not have an environment where you can do that so you may need to confer with select staff
Consistent, congruent, visionary, thoughtful, and personal
