Think leadership is an easy business? Think again! It takes courage and a strong willpower to be a successful leader. When it comes to leadership, people are always curious about what to do, what not to do and how to do things. However, there is no perfect answer to that. There are hundreds of leadership models and all you can do is to go with one or find out one.
William had never felt fear before. He had just been promoted to President of the company that had grown dramatically over the past three years and they were not ready for this rapid expansion. While he felt confident that he was the best qualified for this position, he lost sleep thinking of all the leadership challenges his people were expecting him to fix. He saw himself in the image of the Greek Titan Atlas holding up the globe. He was going to need help.
We learned that selection is incredibly important for the cohort to have a successful experience. Among the university’s core values is diversity and inclusion, and the GLA is the perfect example of these aspirations in action. We need to have as many voices as possible in the academy so we balance representation from both faculty and staff, all genders and races, all ages and lengths of tenure at Webster, and from different schools and colleges, campuses, and departments. Pulling in people who have no reason to be in a room together and sending them on this yearlong experience maximizes learning by exposing them to diverse voices and viewpoints.
Our program, inspired and driven by its purpose and mission, develops extraordinary leaders who are recognized for several attributes.

I was spending quality time with my eight year old grandson during spring break last month and he googled my name and showed me a copy of my interview from last year’s Top Corporate Leader over 35 Leadership Excellence write-up. He went on to tell me that he’d been sharing it with his friends and it would be really cool if I participate in their next career day event. This was a Kodak moment for me because he’s already thinking about how he can impact and inspire others.
I feel my ability to engage and align team members through a collaborative approach is something that has helped me be successful as a leader. I feel it’s important to engage my team at the beginning (of projects/interventions/initiatives) and have them contribute while helping them discover how they matter to success, both of our team and the organization. It’s tapping into their desire to contribute, to be valued and respected.
