On Leadership

Dick Sullivan is president and CEO of the PGA TOUR Superstore, one of the nation’s largest golf retailers. The industry grew 60% during the pandemic as consumers sought outdoor recreation. Hear how the company managed to score despite Covid-19, and how a nearly 30-year relationship with The Home Depot co-founders Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank have affected Sullivan's leadership philosophy and his company’s performance. 

Judy Monroe is president and CEO of the CDC Foundation—an organization that connects the public health agency with corporate and non-profit support. She says during the pandemic, she leaned on lessons learned from her early career as a practicing physician in Appalachia, where she saw how “magical” caring for others can be. She also discusses how Covid-19 caused her to rediscover the importance of self-care as a leadership tool. 

Doug Hooker decided decades ago to make “Atlanta his career.” He describes how that has played out since he graduated from Georgia Tech with an engineering degree to eventually become the executive director of the Atlanta Regional Commission—a planning nonprofit which affects millions of residents across the 11-county metro Atlanta area. Hooker is also an accomplished musician and describes his leadership style as harmonious.
