Seeing the Big Picture: A Conversation about One President’s Visionary Approach to Leadership

A President shares her experiences and strategies for leading big change.
Overview
Visionary leadership in higher education is essential for driving innovation, creating inclusive culture, and advancing the institutional mission. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why we often focus on the urgent and immediate rather than the big picture—like entrenched traditions, complex governance structures, budget constraints, short-term pressures, resistance to change, external influences, and the need to balance diverse stakeholder interests. Join us for an interactive discussion with President Shari McMahan of Eastern Washington University to hear how she has developed a visionary approach to leadership along with the lessons she’s learned in the process.
This one-hour discussion offers a space to engage in open dialogue, ask questions, and learn from one another in a supportive and inclusive environment. Explore how you can cultivate visionary leadership in higher education, navigate challenges, and leverage your unique strengths to drive positive change and innovation within your institution. President McMahan will share strategies and personal lessons learned for how to:
- Foster collaborative change and campus-wide partnerships.
- Develop a visionary mindset.
- Maintain balance and stay true to yourself.
Ultimately, you’ll walk away with a renewed commitment to yourself, your values, and the importance of leading consistently.
Who should attend?
This discussion is open to all, but women in higher education may find this especially beneficial. This discussion is designed for staff, faculty members, administrators, and leaders at all levels who are interested in having a conversation about growing as a leader and developing visionary skills to navigate and drive change.
