ICYMI- Our graduate students interviewed Leaders of Taste for @Culpwrit's class and their work was published on @gagenmac's #LetGoandLead series. We'll be sharing their interviews this whole week. We don't mean to brag, but they make us so #PRADProud! #PRADFutureLeaders
@gagenmac @BlazePizza@CMNDePaul@Culpwrit Thank you @gagenmac for featuring our interview with Rick Wetzel, Co-Founder & Chairman of @BlazePizza! It was great to learn about Rick’s wildly optimistic leadership style.
“Become a leader of character by understanding who you are, knowing your values and keeping them front and center, focusing on others and getting personal.” https://t.co/LMQoaqZxDk #PRAD595@Culpwrit
“The reality is that a purposeful, positive, productive work culture won’t happen by simply ‘announcing’ your values. It happens only when every leader demonstrates your desired values and behaviors in every interaction…” https://t.co/kGajquJXDC #PRAD595@Culpwrit
"Know who you are and what you believe – never compromise your values. Find your purpose." Thank you for these tips for success, @rogerbolton! #PRAD595@culpwrit
@Culpwrit asks for the one thing panelists want to leave us with. They said: “This is the most fun career.” “Never been bored.” “Narratives drives our lives.” “Think of your career more like a jungle gym than a ladder” “care deeply about brands” “Say yes and lean in.”
What a great panel of women leading in communication! When it comes to measuring success, Stacy Sharpe from @Allstate said it’s about the impact you have on people’s lives and the connections you build. #PRAD595@DePaulPRAD@Culpwrit
“Leadership is about influencing others, rather than demanding and coercing. It speaks to the ability to win people over to a new way of thinking and practice, through idea sharing, collaboration and role modeling.” https://t.co/HCp1XoAFzq #PRAD595@Culpwrit
“Leadership learning in 3 ways: learn from the things you do and that happen to you during the day, learn when your curiosity leads you to new discoveries and learning should be an intentional effort to learn specific skills.” @wallybock https://t.co/cEHxeynX79 #PRAD595@Culpwrit
“An effective team is one that takes in data, analyzes it, evaluates it, and then interprets it for C-Suite discussion. An effective communication team will be asked to participate in strategic discussions, not simply announce them.” @wtcoombs@bobfeldman#PRAD595@Culpwrit
“Remember, at the end of the day, people will follow you if you’re leading them to a better place. Paint the vision, explain why, show them how, and you’ll all get there together.” @aricwood https://t.co/ZX4wn2Vlto #PRAD595@Culpwrit
“…best practice is to incorporate D&I goals in compensation, primarily as the bonus structure. When that incentive does not exist though, it is important for a CCO to challenge the enterprise and hold team members accountable for their actions.” - @EllenEast @Culpwrit#PRAD595
