Empowering Others with Louis McCleary

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 discuss leadership
philosophy and principles with Louise McCleary, (@McClearyLou)
the Vice President Division III at NCAA (@NCAAIII). Before
joining the NCAA headquarters, Louise had a long career in three
different athletics departments, and brings a strong commitment
to equity into everything she does. Louise describes the
importance of mentors and allies and why it's the leaders job to
ensure everyone has the opportunity to shine. She details why
leaders can't be afraid to fail and why "knowledge of they self"
is a critical first step for all leaders. 


It was especially enjoyable to speak with Louise on the eve of
the combined NCAA Women's Final Four and Championships, during
which the 50th Anniversary of Title IX will be celebrated and
commenerated.
