Well-rounded leaders

In reading some of the other blogs about preparing principals, I too agree that it is necessary for us to be well prepared and well rounded leaders in higher education. But I also raise the question of what it truly means to be a well rounded leader in our setting. One of the most important and challenging aspects of our job is to find a balance between academics and student affairs. In student affairs, we are also expected to have knowledge and experience with event planning; budget creation; and vision inspiring...just to name a few.

Although I am not truly in a leadership position, I would like to think that through my personal encounters and experiences with leaders that I have gained many useful skills and ideas that would make me a more well rounded leader!
