it's important for leaders to leverage their existing skills while cultivating new
opportunities for growth and effective leadership. 

identified areas for growth, and I welcome that kind of feedback. So it's
important to be open-minded. In addition, I've recognized that I tend to resist
moving forward in my career. I get complacent. However, when I take the next
step, I always wonder why I didn't do it sooner.

always put family first, schoolwork and professional growth second, and work
third. I now offer the same advice to the student employees and staff that I
hire today, hoping they will understand that if your home and personal life is
good, then the work you do won't be a struggle.

I would say find your brand. What are the unique qualities that make you stand out? For
me, it was understanding my leadership style. There are different leadership
philosophies, and taking some time for self-reflection and assessment to really
understand your passion, motivation, and what energizes you is helpful.

I have learned that I'm a servant leader and take great pride in putting the needs of my
employees first, helping them to develop skill sets that encourage them to perform at
the highest possible level. Also, I believe that being extremely organized and knowing
your leadership style can help you to keep your team tuned in and on track to
successfully complete the goals that contribute to student success.
I recommend that early career IT professionals take advantage of any new
learning opportunities available to them—not only by participating in training,
but also by helping with projects that are out of their scope and joining
committees and working groups that tackle more than just their direct field of
work.

I think the journey is all about finding your passion. If you could do it with a
mentor, that would help immensely. If your organization doesn't have a
mentoring program, find someone you trust who has more experience, or
maybe a life coach who has been down in the trenches and can advise you
about your professional growth. And, of course, attending EDUCAUSE
Institute programs where you get a fresh perspective from others in the higher
ed IT industry is a rewarding experience. One thing to remember when you
get to the top of where you want to be is to pay it forward.
