In the wake of the inaugural Values Enacted Leadership Institute, I have been reflecting on the relationship between excellence and integrity. "Excellence" is too often too abstract a term to be useful. Thinking of excellence in but terms of integrity helps in this regard: cplong.org/2025/07/inte...

Here is @cplong.bsky.social on the transformative power of values-enacted work in higher ed, particularly at the current moment.

There is nobody with whom I’d rather plan a leadership institute than Chris & the rest of @humetricshss.bsky.social team.
