Administrative Meditations

“Listen to Your Words”

Proverbs 13:3

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Administrators at times get the perception that they should have all the answers. Understand that some questions do not need to be answered but just listened to. Random conversation can be a real trap for an administrator and can cost hours of time trying to correct miscommunications. The wise administrator listens carefully and thinks before he speaks.
