Linda, So often we are reluctant to part ways with long-term employees for a number of reasons. We hate to lose the history resident in those folks. We feel loyalty to them. They are a known entity. And yet, once we bite the bullet, so to speak, we find the end result is a new, fresh excitement that just didn't exist before or hadn't for a long time. Fresh blood can have that impact with new ideas, new ways of doing things, and so on. It just requires someone to take the initiative to take that first step and the results can be enlightening. In doing so, however, we also need to prepare for the potential impact of such a move. For example, student like stability and by removing those who have provided that stability in their lives, students can be lost and may opt to walk away themselves. Prepping them and providing additional support during the transition becomes a major responsibility. Dr. Patricia Kapper
