Presidents and the Employee Experience

Or listen on:

About the Episode

About the Episode: Today’s college or university president is expected to be highly influential and effective in their leadership. These higher ed CEOs are expected to positively impact every aspect of their institutions, regardless of size. The employee experience, however, can often be one of the least prioritized areas. How did one of the most respected and recognized presidents in the country work with his faculty and staff? Walter Kimbrough visited “I Wanna Work There!” to talk about how he worked to create a positive talent experience during his presidencies.

Here are the takeaways from this episode:

  1. We will hear about the importance of establishing a culture from the president’s seat.
  2. We will learn what it means to communicate honestly with faculty and staff.
  3. Walter will share his advice for aspiring presidents to help foster a productive campus work culture.
