Group of people talkingLeadership is the ability to lead, not rule. It involves a creative vision, the cognitive ability to make sound decisions, moral and ethical values while using power and influence effectively, and the ability to organize and motivate a team of qualified individuals. Let Daniel Webster College help you develop your skills and lead you to a more effective style of management

Daniel Webster College in partnership with the Collings Foundation, is proud to introduce the Daniel Webster College Leadership Initiative.

This innovative program recognizes that true leaders don't just happen -- they are intrinsically shaped -- through learning, experiential development, and interaction with others. Through the initiative, Daniel Webster is committed to enhancing leadership development by incorporating a three-level strategy specifically designed for CEO's, professionals, and undergraduate students.

The CEO Forum helps executives enhance their leadership skills by networking and sharing different perspectives. BM322, a six-credit Executive Leadership course, provides experiential leadership development tailored to both continuing education professionals and traditional undergraduate students. And the Guest Lecture Series provides all participants, as well as the general public, with the opportunity to interact with nationally recognized leaders in small and large group settings.

Previous speakers have included Apollo 8 Commander and former Eastern Airlines CEO Frank Borman, Senator (and former actor) Fred Thompson (R-TN), Gene Kranz, Lead Flight Director of Mission Control for Apollo 13, and Ken Olsen, founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corp. Other national leaders who have participated in events on campus include Ted Koppel, of ABC News, and presidential hopefuls Bill Bradley, Senator John McCain and Vice President Al Gore.
