Be a Little Stronger, Be a Little Smarter, Stand Up a Little Straighter with Mary Ullmann Japhet

In episode 5, I lecture on chapter 14 of the 9th edition of Peter
G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the
segment, I discuss the Glass Ceiling and Leadership Labyrinth
metaphors which are used to describe the intersection of gender
and leadership in the sports world. Those interested in learning
more are encouraged to read these two research articles:

In the Living Leadership interview segment I was joined by
esteemed Trinity University alumna, Mary Ullmann Japhet. Mary is
the founder of Japhet Media and was previously the Senior Vice
President, Communications & Community Engagement at San
Antonio Sports. Mary says there's a leadership opportunity in
every opportunity and emplores young leaders to: 1) Be humble, 2)
look for chances to flex your leadership muscles, 3) execute your
role well (be good at what you do!), and 4) "Be a little
stronger, a little smarter, and stand a little bit
straighter." 


Mary also highlights her own journey through the leadership
labyrinth and tells stories about important mentors who made sure
she was invited into the room AND had a place at the table. She
has so much wisdom to share, whether you're 22 or 62 there's
something to learn from her. 


I'd love to hear your thoughts, please share them so I can bring
them into our class.
