My preference for the title of Administrator instead of Manager may be prideful since both positions perform the same tasks. And neither is to be construed as a claim of being an Entrepreneur.

I inherited existing positions and did my best to improve each organization’s health and stability, where I served. This meant creating more efficient systems to produce a more effective outreach program for financial growth, while maintaining squeaky clean audit opinions.

The lack of glamor for my performance was gratifying in its own unique way. Standing in the shadow of another’s success, those front line people who were the public representation of my work, benefited the organization. And that was what I was hired to do.

I am a profound proponent of Peter Drucker’s claim that “The manager is the dynamic, life-giving element in every business. Without his leadership, the resources of production remain resources and never production.”

What follows hopefully proves the point.
