Abstract
The success of the administrators in the future depends on their ability to motivate people to do better with less. They will be required to promote a good work environment in the midst of cutbacks, layoffs, and continued threats of layoffs. To reach their goals, they will work with staff members that face day to day uncertainties regardless of how hard they work. C.E.O.’s must convince them to continue to do their best in these stressful environments.
