Ep. 6: A Title Does Not a Leader Make

A Title Does Not a Leader Make

Or listen on:

About the Episode

Employee engagement does not happen without effective leadership. Effective leadership, however, doesn’t always come from those with executive authority–the folks with the titles. Without question, great leadership can come from faculty and staff who own their expertise and authority and who have moved the needle on their respective campuses. This episode explores the critical role that leadership development plays in employee engagement through the eyes of Vicki Baker, an economics and management professor who wrote an Inside Higher Ed op-ed called “A Title Does Not a Leader Make.”
