I recently watched an insightful interview of Gordon Gee, President of West Virginia University from GallupAtWork https://lnkd.in/gk-XFnPm summit. He started off with a powerful statement that deeply resonated with me: "American Colleges and Universities must change or die." This call for transformation is not just about survival, but about thriving through purpose and innovation. It's concerning that while 80% of college graduates affirms the importance of finding purpose, less than 50% succeed in finding purposeful work. West Virginia University launched Purpose Center on their campus, which aims to guide students in self-discovery through CliftonStrengths assessment, mental health, career support and alumni network. This center is making a significant impact, as below: 1. 81% student retention 2. Improved student confidence and engagement 3. Meaningful connections between students' purposes and their degrees The president Gordon also offered invaluable advice: 1. Surround yourself with people whose strengths complement yours. 2. Build your organisation into a beautiful mosaic of talents (what a statement, this will stick with me forever). 3. Encourage regular conversations around strengths 4. Embrace purpose to overcome the worst threat to any organisation, which is complacency. Let's take these insights to heart and strive to build organisations where purpose and strengths are at the forefront. Together, we can create environments where everyone thrives and contributes to a greater purpose. Another great piece of inspiration is President Gordon's Leading With Strengths interview https://lnkd.in/gu-SEWiB https://lnkd.in/gznyPTQa https://lnkd.in/gRK6smNX #Leadership #Purpose #Innovation #CliftonStrengths #HigherEducation #StudentSuccess #OrganizationalDevelopment #StrengthsBasedLeadership #Gallup

This short video speaks to the challenge of addressing systemic issues from a siloed point of view. When innovation is pitched as a departmental responsibility, solutions will inherently focus on incremental improvements. Access to the right resources, partners, and support for scale is challenging to achieve from within one's organizational silo. Breakthrough innovation—or at least a systemic view of the issues—must come from somewhere with a perspective on how different components might work together to contribute to larger-scale solutions. All the videos in this series are now viewable on our website: https://lnkd.in/ed9FC3bi

I had the honor of speaking to a team of USAFA faculty about their latest thoughts on leader development (https://lnkd.in/gfzXFu-E). A phrase they used will stick with me: "Every interaction is an opportunity." Thanks to Matthew Horner, Matthew Orlowsky, Daphne DePorres, and Dave Levy! Remember their words as you connect with others today. I will, too.
