"The techniques he used to calm fear and replace it with trust and partnership struck me as crucially important to managers and executives. Horses and cattle are ideal to work with because they give you immediate, obvious feedback when you're trying to get them to do something...

While not the sexiest location, vacant classrooms beneath Sanders Theatre should be used for lunchtime seating. If that is insufficient for the number of diners, the Freshman Dean’s Office should open the newly renovated freshman common rooms—especially in nearby dorms like Holworthy, Thayer, and Canaday—to upperclassmen during lunch hours. These spaces should be sufficiently large...
