Preparing Leaders for What's Next

Dr. Rachel believes that effective leadership development needs to extend beyond traditional management skills. "Technical competence is important, but people don't rally behind competence alone," said Dr. Rachel. "They need leaders who can build trust, understand different perspectives, coach effectively, communicate purpose, manage their own emotions, and help people navigate change."
