Speaking truth to power is unavoidable in leadership so ... we talk about it again! Dr. Mary Jo Callan, Brown University Vice President for Community Engagement, describes a time she challenged local government on behalf of the most vulnerable, why holding positional authority requires such action, and why “relationships are the most powerful unit of change.”

It’s hard to admit, but we’ve all done it! Dr. Sara Reed, Vice President for People & Talent at Western Governors University, is here to help us understand why we do it and what we can do about it. Plus she offers a few tips and tools for avoiding it.

Listen in to learn what “the 4 Ps” are, how to use an organizational chart to manage your time, and ... finally ... resolution to the age-old question of, "Is listening to a book the same as reading it?"

Have you ever faced the choice of speaking up or staying quiet? (Yeah, us too!) In this episode, Dr. George Grant, President of Saginaw Valley State University, tells us about a time he stood up to power, why celebrating failure unleashes innovation, how self-worth and voice are the backbone to risk-taking, and what skills he is still working on as a leader.

It sucks to be told no! (Especially when it’s by the President!) It’s also an inevitable part of the job.

Dr. Teri Hall, Vice President for Student Affairs at Wichita State University, tells us about a time she was told no and what she learned and offers advice about how to remain positive and not take it personally. (If your zodiac sign is Aquarius, you’ll love this episode!).

Most of us will change jobs, if not entire careers, at least once. Jason Taylor, Managing Partner at The Annex Group, helps us understand what we can learn from baboons, scorpions, and frogs; why moms are the best career counselors; and steps you can take to evaluate the nagging feeling it might be time for a change (as well as why it’s also OK to stay right where you are!).

Welcome to Season 3! To kick it off, Kelsey and Loren try a new “guest prompt” on each other. Listen in to hear Kelsey describe a time she had to deliver hard news to an employee, how she did it, and what she learned. And Loren recounts the time he felt underprepared for a big decision and how he got himself ready. They also describe this season’s new format, what a dream cruise is, and where they were during Hurricane Dolly (or was it Debbie?!).

In the last episode of Season 2, we hear from association executives Mary DeNiro (ACUHO-I), Pam Watts (NIRSA) and Mike Moss (SCUP) as they reflect on the leadership research we’ve been discussing, tell us how their associations are changing to meet higher education needs, and what they have had to “unlearn to relearn” as leaders themselves.

Want to know how to lead more courageously? Bob Shea (UNC Greensboro), Amanda Bailey (Boston University), and Dr. TJ Logan (Brailsford & Dunlavey) give us a master class on how (and when!) to speak truth to power, why managing culture is as important as managing information and why love is the foundation to courage (yea, seriously!).

As we near the end of our series on the state of the higher ed workforce, Lisa Walker (The Equity Group Consulting) and DJ Pepito Chavez (Society for College and University Planning) explain the difference between employee sense of purpose and sense of belonging, what contributes to burnout, and why leaders should think “dial” rather than “light switch” when supervising others.
