Looking at Leadership

The Looking at Leadership series began as a series of thought pieces, concentrated on offering a voice to the unheard and underrepresented through literary driven discussion. Over the years, examining how as leaders and transformational change agents, we have an opportunity and responsibility to speak truth to power while offering a voice to others, has been a focal point.

The series has allowed Dr. Johnson to collaborate with students, colleagues, and peers within the academe and our diverse communities. As you’re Looking at Leadership, consider your role and how you too can advocate for others.
