Navigating 2024: Striving for Excellence in Leadership
Leadership excellence is a verb and a noun. As we journey through 2024, our unwavering focus must be on achieving excellence. Whether we lead, innovate or mentor, our commitment to excellence remains paramount. Each individual’s pursuit of excellence involves continuous refinement. But let’s rise beyond mere competence; let’s aim for the extraordinary. I advocate for Servant Leadership, a style rooted in humility, empathy, and service. Our accountability lies in this challenge, and this moment is our opportunity to ascend to new heights of leadership impact.

Disruption in higher education is happening at an unprecedented pace. The traditional approach to teaching and learning is being challenged, as well as how we enroll and engage students. These conditions present an opportunity to explore new and innovative models of instruction and student services. To achieve our mission of graduating students, we need to develop a toolkit to help transition students in, through, and out with the necessary credentials to obtain economic and social mobility. Dr. Jones shares strategies to help you build the capacity and energy to navigate this revolution and ignite a renewed passion around your purpose. Dr. Jones shares his lived experiences and research to provide insights on how to break down institutional silos, advance community partnerships, and transform engagement by learning from and with students.
