When Opportunity Knocks
In our first episode, we debunk the myth that leadership begins and ends with The Leader. Bruce Avolio, Executive Director of Foster’s Center for Leadership and Strategic Thinking will explore how the situation (whether in the form of an opportunity or challenge) may have more to do with who becomes a successful leader than the leadership qualities of a particular person.
