Our Faculty on Leadership
 |
|
Alison R. Fragale
Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior
"Leadership is learned, not innate. Our program philosophy is to teach students how to become the best leaders through hands-on practice, feedback and reflection." |
 |
|
David A. Hofmann
Professor of Organizational Behavior
"I often use examples from my research and consulting projects to highlight certain points. I take the training that I developed for managers and adapt it for my students." |
 |
|
Mabel Miguel
Professor of Organizational Behavior
"I focus on what business students need beyond their functional expertise or training to advance in their careers. Often, my more experienced students say they wish they had learned these leadership skills earlier." |
 |

Benson Rosen
Professor of Organizational Behavior
"Leaders are future oriented. They articulate a vision of how the organization must evolve, create a sense of urgency, clarify what is expected of individuals moving forward, and push hard for change." |
 |
|
Jeffrey R. Edwards
Professor of Organizational Behavior
"The effectiveness of a leader does not depend solely on the qualities of the leader as a person. Instead, it depends on how these qualities mesh with the unique demands of the leader's role and the followers that surround the leader." |
 |
|
Gerald D. Bell
Professor of Organizational Behavior
"To become an extraordinary leader, you must build your own personality skills. This comes first. You must be what you want your followers to become. No shortcuts, no magic, no easy formula." |
 |

Lynn Setzer
Adjunct Lecturer of Management and Corporate Communication
"Too many people approach leadership as something akin to pushing the right buttons on a dashboard. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Leading is delicate, like holding a butterfly, and comes from a sincere inventory of one’s experiences." |
 |
|
Richard S. Blackburn
Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior
"The ancient Chinese curse, 'May you live in interesting times,' means that effective leadership is now more important than ever. The leaders of the future must have the skills and abilities to engineer transformational change." |
 |
|
Tim Flood
Assistant Professor of Management and Corporate Communication
"Great leaders do share some strategies and characteristics, but leadership really depends on the strength of the individual’s commitment and approach. Our programs resonate because we focus on modeling excellence and giving individuals opportunities to excel." |
 |
|
Paul N. Friga
Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship
“At UNC Kenan-Flagler, we focus on the development of 'thought' and 'people' leadership. Thought leadership is taking material from the classroom and life experiences and applying them as new insights for positive impact. People leadership involves motivating and developing others in accordance with our school’s core values.” |
