Leadership Strategies for Modern Higher Education Institutions

In this episode of Don't Waste the Chaos, I sit down with Dr. Sue Thomas, the seventeenth President of Truman State University, to discuss the realities of leadership, the evolving landscape of higher education, and the role universities play in shaping the future workforce. With an extensive background in academia, leadership, and organizational strategy, Sue shares invaluable insights on navigating challenges, staying grounded in a leadership role, and advocating for women in top-level positions.

Whether you're in higher education, aspiring to a leadership role, or simply curious about the future of workforce development, this conversation is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss.  

Tune in to hear:

  • The personal habits and qualities that have helped Sue navigate leadership challenges
  • How her vision for higher education has evolved throughout her career
  • The critical role universities play in workforce development and addressing societal challenges
  • Practical advice for women looking to step into executive leadership roles
  • Why leadership is about more than just a title and how to lead with impact
