Bronco Leaders Call to Action🎯 Civility starts with leadership. How you communicate, listen, and respond—especially under pressure—sets the tone for your team. Consistently demonstrate respect, assume positive intent, and address issues calmly and directly.
🎯 Don’t let small behaviors escalate. Interrupt dismissive comments, include overlooked voices, and redirect gossip into constructive conversation. Early, respectful intervention prevents culture erosion and builds trust.

As leaders, modeling civility is an act of cura personalis. It comes down to unconditional kindness and respect for the other person - our colleagues, our students, our teams, and all those we encounter during moments of calm, as well as when we are navigating difficult challenges. When steadfast kindness, respect and dignity serve as our foundation, we do more than just act civilly; we pay attention to others, and in doing so, we see the whole person, setting the stage for authentic and meaningful dialogue regardless of the circumstances. - Molly McDonald, Chief of Staff, Office of the President |
