We live in a remote / decentralized environment. I always love getting the opportunity to connect with colleagues and peers in person.
Let them know you appreciate them, and to keep doing the amazing work.

Big pictures and big ideas kick off the #uncwaterandhealth conference. Easy to be cynical about 2050 concepts when so many people are struggling still today, but it is important to keep a horizonal view. Still, so much work needs to get done year after year to get there.
Most quality leaders donβt just come up with good ideas.Β They learn to get information from all of the critical stakeholders, and figure out how to consolidate that knowledge into unbiased action.
After you listenβ¦learn to communicate.
Do you want to learn to be a leader?
Learn to listen.
Practice it, intentionally do it, ask questions, allow for silence, build trust so you can get honesty.
WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE IS,
* a gender issue
* a social justice issue
* an education issue
* a public health issue
* a human issue
...we must work together
To create that energy you must confidently create a shared sense of purpose and commitment within the people you are working with to bring about that vision.
LEADERSHIP = DIRECTION + ENERGY
Simple equation, but difficult to get right.Β So often leaders focus on direction (vision) of where an organization needs to go, how it will get there, why it is importantβ¦
Transferring that direction into sustained energy within a group of people is where the work comes in.Β It requires consistency, adaptability, intentionality,Β and transparency.
