I Wanna Work There!

Through the past 19 episodes of “I Wanna Work There!,” we have taken a more involved look at how talent attraction, talent experience and talent retention impact colleges and universities as employers of choice. One constant throughout our conversations has been how leadership impacts an institution’s employer brand. This episode examines how presidents, boards, deans, cabinet members, directors and other leaders across campuses can be more intentional about leading with the mantra, “Lead From the Heart.”. Mark Crowley, author of the book and host of the podcast of the same name, has experienced how productive teams are when their leaders put people first; and he shares his thoughts about leading from the heart in higher education.

Listen for these three big leadership insights from Mark:

1. The business case for leading from the heart.
2. Why it is difficult for leaders to lead from the heart.
3. Advice for aspiring presidents to lead their faculty and staff from the heart.
