Sharpening Your Leadership Skills with Aly Lilley

Episode 3 begins with my lecture on chapter 3 of the 9th edition
of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During
the segment, I highlight the evolution of skills-based approaches
to studying leadership and detail Mumford et al.'s Skills Model
of Leadership.


In the Living Leadership Interview segment, I had the good
fortune to discuss leadership philosophy, the skills great
leaders utilize, and the importance of mentors with Trinity
alumna, former student, and great friend Aly Lilley.


Aly is the Deputy Athletic Director at Centre College
(@CentreAthletics) in Danville, Kentucky. Before arriving at
Centre, she was Trinity University's Associate Director for
Athletic Giving and Engagement, and prior to assuming that role
she was a long-time assistant volleyball coach at Trinity.


A former All-American student-athlete, Aly highlights that great
leaders are empathetic, honest, and deeply passionate about their
work. She also details how former professors, part-time job
employers, and Julie Jenkins (@TUVolleyballTX's wildly successful
coach), helped her recognize the import of mentors to
self-development and why trust is THE foundation for developing
strong relationships. 


Listen for how Aly describes emotional intelligence, a
collaboration spirit, and a learner's mindset help leaders create
dynamic, high-peformaning organizations.
