Leading With Purpose Summer Series

Join Philip Dearborn, President of ABHE, for a special summer series designed to strengthen your leadership and renew your sense of mission. Every other week, you’ll hear one of the most-listened-to conversations from past seasons. Each episode offering practical encouragement and a fresh reminder of why Christ-centered higher education matters.

This episode originally aired Jan 2024

What does courageous leadership in higher education look like?

It’s about utilizing situational styles.

It’s about relying on faith to drive out fear.

It’s time to get real about what it means to be courageous in biblical higher education.

That’s why I’m joined by Todd Williams, President and CEO at Cairn University, a courageous leader who didn’t always envision himself at the forefront of a higher ed institution.

In this episode, we delve into what it means to be a courageous leader.

Join us as we discuss: 

- Different styles of courageous leadership, from positional to situational (5:39)

- The “romance” of leadership and why it can quickly burn out (9:36)

- A historical example of situational leadership in the face of fear (16:41)
