8. The Why
This is where most institutions, and frankly,
many individuals get lost – in the why. The
why is personal and as our days are infiltrated
with more and more activity, we lose the
opportunity to focus on the why. As
institutions we get caught in the business of
policy and regulations and the hype of what’s
new and sometimes lose sight of our why – of
our mission.

10. The basic currency of higher education — the
credit hour — represents the root of many
problems plaguing America's higher education
system: the practice of measuring time rather
than learning.

11. Start with the Why.
• I Believe Focusing on the WHY not
the WHAT will bring more success.
The WHY inspires those who lead &
inspires others to find their WHY.

13. Here’s to the crazy ones — the
misfits, the rebels, the
troublemakers, the round
pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things
differently — they’re not
fond of rules. You can quote
them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them, but
the only thing you can’t do
is ignore them because they
change things. They push
the human race forward,
and while some may see
them as the crazy ones, we
see genius, because the
ones who are crazy enough
to think that they can
change the world, are the
ones who do. – Steve Jobs
