Quinn, is the ninth chapter in a book I’m currently reading called On Managing Yourself , published by Harvard Business Review books. In this fascinating chapter, Quinn introduces the concept that “leaders do their best work when they don’t copy anyone. Instead, they draw on their own fundamental values and capabilities, operating in a frame of mind that is true to them yet, paradoxically, not their normal state of being.” He calls it the fundamental state of leadership. Quinn says it is the way leaders lead when they encounter a crisis and finally choose to move forward. In my strong desire to thank everyone involved in building, and then opening, the new Tampa Bay Regional Campus, I realized this is what I consistently saw in everyone who worked together to successfully make the campus a reality. Elaine Wallace and I, through the wonderful support from NSU administrators George Hanbury II, Harry Moon, Fred Lippman, Irv Rosenbaum, and many others, consistently worked the problem at hand by entering the fundamental state of leadership— not always knowing what to do next, but facing each crisis and moving forward. All the Nova Southeastern University vice presi- dents, deans, directors, and faculty and staff members were amaz- ingly dedicated and generous as they also moved forward after each crisis became obvious. Drs. Kiran C. and Pallavi Patel, M.D.s, also entered the fundamen- tal state of leadership and helped move us all forward to success. We are humbled and extremely grateful for everyone who helped us move forward. Quinn’s chapter ended with him saying, “We can learn the value of challenging ourselves in this way—a painful process, but one with great potential to make a positive impact on the people and us.” To all of you at the KPCOM, thank you for all you do.
