President's Message

What Does Leadership Look Like? (Part 2)

During a discussion, a few nights ago with Dr. Juan Nieto, Dr. Nieto commented to me that great leaders emerge in times of crisis. This reminded me of Dr. Amal Mattu’s talk, in which he told us that none of the U.S. presidents who held office during times when no war, no depression, no crisis existed have become renowned. Leadership emerges out of the need to make tough decisions. And tough decisions can make or break a leader.
