Susan J. McGregor Memorial Lecture On Women's Leadership

Reimagining leadership: Who gets to lead and why?
Featuring Shari Dunn
Journalist, lawyer and executive changemaker

 

In this thought-provoking lecture, Shari Dunn examines how our unspoken assumptions about what leaders should look like, sound like and act like create barriers to building truly innovative organizations. This discussion occurs as technology, changing workplace demographics and evolving social values are fundamentally reshaping leadership expectations.

 

Dunn directly challenges the outdated "Great Man Theory" of leadership that still unconsciously influences hiring, promotion and succession planning in many businesses. In its place, she introduces the concept of "Leader as Learner" — a framework that values adaptability, collaboration and diverse perspectives as essential business advantages rather than optional add-ons.

 

By understanding how bias affects leadership selection, our students and community members gain the awareness needed to create and work within more equitable workplaces where every individual's potential can be nurtured and realized.

 

Drawing from personal experience, leadership theory and research, Dunn explores how gender, race and cultural expectations shape our ideas of competence and authority. She also offers concrete strategies for future business leaders to navigate and change not only the narrative but reality.

 

This lecture connects directly to the College of Business's commitment to sustainable and socially responsible solutions. By recognizing how leadership diversity fosters innovation, improves decision-making, and creates more resilient organizations, we advance our mission of crafting business environments where technological advancement and human potential reinforce each other.
