Skills That an Administrator Should Learn Early

At the Chronicle of Higher Education, George McClellan, vice chancellor for student affairs at Indiana University-Purdue University in Fort Wayne, discusses skills that an administrator should learn early in his or her career. I think we could all benefit from learning these skills, though we may spend our entire careers developing them. This is a very worthwhile article.

Here are the skills:

Giving depositions and court testimony.

Handling internal politics

Moving up the ranks.

Aiding Those Suffering Loss and Grieving. (and dealing with your own grieving)
