Leadership is a Family Business with Megan Selmon Kelly

In the first episode of season 4, I lecture on chapter 1 of Peter
G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." General
concepts of leadership are discussed, the term is defined, and
there's a special focus on the connection between leadership and
power.


In the Living Leadership interview segment I chat with Trinity
University alumna, Megan Selmon Kelly. Megan was a key member of
the Trinity Women's Basketball team (@TUWBBall) which won the
NCAA DIII (@NCAADIII) National Championship in 2003 and at the
time of our conversation was the Acting Deputy Chief of Mission
at the U.S. Embassy in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. She is
currently the Political and Economic Chief at the same U.S.
Embassy. 


She has a long career as a U.S. Diplomat and comes from an
amazingly successful athletic family.  During our chat Megan
talks about the lessons she learned from her family, from Becky
Geyer - her Trinity basketball coach, her teammates, and U.S.
Abmassadors and other State Department leaders. She details why
trust matters, that preparation is the key to success, and why
great leaders focus on serving and caring. Her mantra, "If you
want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, run together"
is an inspring message for leaders - at whatever stage in their
journey they find themselves.
