I work in a small school that, in addition to being an academic institution, is also a ministry. That is a necessary combination...but the relationship between the two (and the balance) can be extremely difficult. One of the frustrations I have with that combination is the occasional "Oops" on professionalism. It is sometimes easy to expect others...specifically the clients...to roll with the punches a little too much. Don't get me wrong...all stakeholders need to be flexible. I'm just saying that some tend to assume that everyone else should acquiesce when really it's rather unprofessional to do so.
The other problem??...addressing it when it happens. The sacrifice mentality screams "Victim". Grr! But, I'm still going to go after it...and remember to hold myself to that standard as well. (And scold myself in my "oops" moments...)
