During October 2010, the University of Phoenix convened its fourth colloquium with keynote
                                           speaker Dr Warren Bennis. More than 300 faculty members, alumni, and doctoral learners attended a
                                           live webinar with pre-and post-event online discussion. Dr. Warren Bennis is a noted leadership
                                           scholar, academician, and world-renowned writer whose thoughts and ideas have influenced business,
                                           academic, and government leaders for more than 50 years. Dr. Bennis’ recently published book, Still
                                           Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership provided the basis for a discussion hosted by former Journal of
                                           Leadership Studies editor Dr. Leona Lobell.

                                                  Dr. Bennis reminded participants that our objective is to achieve a well-lived life. Each of us has
                                           the capacity for growth, understanding, and empathy. Our duty, as leaders, is to influence others so they
                                           can fulfill their potential and therein, we achieve our own. The cycle of life is about the journey and
                                           the people we meet along the way. We each have the capacity to be influenced and educated by others
                                           and in turn, our thoughts, insights, and contributions are only noteworthy when shared with others.
                                           Our destiny as individuals and leaders is formed the crucible of our challenges and defined by our
                                           capacity for compassion.

                                                    Area Chairs Dr. Edward Paluch and Dr. Craig Barton and SAS graduate Dr. Joseph Stahl
                                           facilitated the robust and incisive online discussions that preceded and followed the webinar. The online
                                           dialogue focused on the art of leadership, the role of mentoring, and key leadership attributes.

                                                  The colloquium was an enriching experience for all who attended. The next colloquium, a
                                           Conversation with Nathan Harter, will take place on February 2, with pre-and post-event online
                                           discussion from January 25 through February 7.

  • 5. During October 2010, the University of Phoenix convened its fourth colloquium with keynote speaker Dr Warren Bennis. More than 300 faculty members, alumni, and doctoral learners attended a live webinar with pre-and post-event online discussion. Dr. Warren Bennis is a noted leadership scholar, academician, and world-renowned writer whose thoughts and ideas have influenced business, academic, and government leaders for more than 50 years. Dr. Bennis’ recently published book, Still Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership provided the basis for a discussion hosted by former Journal of Leadership Studies editor Dr. Leona Lobell. Dr. Bennis reminded participants that our objective is to achieve a well-lived life. Each of us has the capacity for growth, understanding, and empathy. Our duty, as leaders, is to influence others so they can fulfill their potential and therein, we achieve our own. The cycle of life is about the journey and the people we meet along the way. We each have the capacity to be influenced and educated by others and in turn, our thoughts, insights, and contributions are only noteworthy when shared with others. Our destiny as individuals and leaders is formed the crucible of our challenges and defined by our capacity for compassion. Area Chairs Dr. Edward Paluch and Dr. Craig Barton and SAS graduate Dr. Joseph Stahl facilitated the robust and incisive online discussions that preceded and followed the webinar. The online dialogue focused on the art of leadership, the role of mentoring, and key leadership attributes. The colloquium was an enriching experience for all who attended. The next colloquium, a Conversation with Nathan Harter, will take place on February 2, with pre-and post-event online discussion from January 25 through February 7.
