| Tip
of the Week for New Professionals….
You
started the year psyched and you may be starting to feel tired,
unappreciated and wondering if you made the right choice in entering
the world of Residence Life! Consider these tips to help get you
back on track and excited about the important work you do…
- Supervision
is not a finite skill. It's a journey. Each circumstance is new
and each offers an opportunity to learn. People are all different,
and even though a situation is similar to one you've already had,
it's a new ballgame.
-
Discipline is an important part of education.
Don't be afraid to take a hard line.
-
Administratively, understand and appreciate the
importance of doing things right and in a timely fashion. Those
who report to you and to whom you report will know they can count
on you.
-
Concerning staff relationships, avoid competition
with your peers. It's a waste of valuable energy and makes you
look small.
-
Get your own personal life and keep it separate
from work.
