My aha--Jason McLaughlin
One thing I am taking away from this weekend is the importance of getting insight from people you can trust or have experience before you make a final decision on a situation. I can see that as you gain experience you could rely on others a little less, however, you should always keep an open mind when you make administrative decisions. Sleeping on things before you make a decision seems like a good idea. I heard so many options that I had not thought about for situations today and yesterday. When I heard others express their view/concern I could understand where they were coming from. Getting insight on a situation is a good idea. Ultimately the decision must be made by you as the administrator and you must stand by your decision. I am going to definitely ask for insight as I gain my professional experience in administration though.
