In our fifth episode, we were humbled to be joined by a very special guest Dr. Michael J. Sorrell. He’s been named as one of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders by Fortune magazine and is the longest serving college President in the 148-year history of Paul Quinn College in Dallas, Texas.
He is one of the most decorated college presidents in America. He has been named Higher Education’s President of the Year by Education Dive, is the only three-time recipient of the HBCU Male President of the Year Award (2018, 2016 and 2012), and Time Magazine listed him as one of the “31 People Changing the South.”
In this exciting episode, we discussed the future of higher education, how universities should respond to COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter, and the leadership we need in the new normal.
Watch the conversation below, along with our top three insights.
I think honesty and transparency are the most important leadership traits. Leave places better than you found them.
