AASCU's 2007 President-to-Presidents Lecture by Richard Pattenaude, Chancellor, University of Maine System
AASCU's 2007 President-to-Presidents Lecture by Richard Pattenaude, Chancellor, University of Maine System: "Now, to put it a bit more thoughtfully: Soles of Your Shoes - Work from your highest principles; Eye on the Ball - Keep your focus on your priorities; Presidential Medallion - Have some humility and be a real person; Lazy Man - Tell the truth; Kenny Rogers - Be willing to admit error. Life at the top of the pyramid is challenging but also enormously rewarding. Some days it is a struggle, but I hope you find joy in that struggle. I know I have."

Would that we could inject this essay directly into the brain of all college presidents! Actually, a must-read for anyone in a leadership position.
Rich is an old friend of Tom Flaherty's (from way in the CCSU past, I think) and he spoke at the North Atlantic spring conference twice, once when he was a brand new president at U Southern Maine, and again a few years later for an update on what he was doing. I'm so glad to know he's moved up to Chancellor.
