20: Joe White (Illinois/Michigan) on The "Human-ness" of Being Dean

A podcast for deans and academic leadership.


DEANS COUNSEL

-

On this episode of Deans Counsel, moderators Jim Ellis and Ken Kring speak with Joe White, President Emeritus of the University of Illinois system and Dean Emeritus of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. 


Given his decades-long history as a leader in both academia and the corporate world, Joe is especially qualified to speak about just about anything relating to the "privilege of leadership," and covers much of it this conversation. Notable topics include: 

• the challenges and rewards of leading a human community

• the difference between management and leadership

• the importance of being close to students

• the most important word in fundraising 


And that's just a small sample of what's packed into this excellent expisode.
