Truly Human Leadership at Gonzaga University

As you may have heard previously on this podcast, over the last several years, Barry-Wehmiller has been involved in an effort to bring Truly Human Leadership to universities.

Our own Brian Wellinghoff has spearheaded this outreach effort and it has led to partnerships with several colleges around the country. One of which is Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington.

Last October we were honored when Gonzaga instituted Chapman Leadership Week to bring a spotlight to people-centric leadership in business on campus, in honor of our late Chairman Bob Chapman. His son, Kyle Chapman, our current Chairman and CEO, was the inaugural keynote speaker at that event.

This year, Chapman Leadership Week continued and the featured speaker was our friend Steve Gund of the Gund Company in St. Louis, a leader whose philosophy was greatly influenced by Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller. In fact, Steve was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal discussing the impact that has had on his company.

On this episode of the podcast, Brian Wellinghoff sat down for a discussion with Steve Gund, as well as Brian Steverson, Gonzaga's Chair of Business Ethics in the School of Business Administration. The three talk about Barry-Wehmiller's work at Gonzaga, what it has meant to their curriculum and their students and they also talk about the why behind Chapman Leadership Week.

It's a fascinating and exciting conversation on how Truly Human Leadership is making inroads in the education of future leaders.
