EPISODE 06: Eli Jones (Texas A&M) on Effectively Leading Strategic Planning

On this episode of Deans Counsel, moderators Ken Kring and David Ikenberry speak with Eli Jones, Professor of Marketing and Peggy Mays Eminent Scholar, and former Dean of the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University.

With three Deanships to his credit (at LSU and Arkansas as well as Texas A&M) during his over 25 years in academia, plus a successful business career, Eli is more-than-qualified to speak on the topics we address in this conversation. Among them: using strategic planning to drive the enterprise and learn about your organization; the critical importance of wide-spread engagement in the process; understanding human behavior and how it leads to change; dealing with organizational change and resistance; and the importance of the dean effectively communicating a vision.
