Service Philosophy

I approach my interactions with colleagues, the scientific community and the institution where I work with a philosophy of leadership through service. My greatest professional satisfaction is derived from facilitating and supporting the endeavors of my colleagues, the mission of my School and University and the future of my field and discipline. My approach to service is to center my efforts and actions on the needs of others; to find out how I can facilitate or support, and insert my influence or expertise where it will provide the greatest value and serve the needs of my peers, collaborators, institution, profession and discipline. I follow this view of leadership through service in my role as Dean of The Information School, and I follow it in the many contributions that I make to the University of Washington and to the broader academic and professional communities associated with the field of information.
