Join us this Thursday at 5pm ET for the Future-Proof Workplace show!
We all want to learn how to lead, but leadership of others has always been more about the others than self. Now some would say that Jack Welch was more about self than others, but that is not true. More people learned invaluable insights from the famed Crotonville – GE’s Leadership Development Center. In fact, more leaders of great Fortune 500 companies were GE Alums. Jack Welch’s lessons and perspectives are timeless. Join us on our next show with Dr. Mario Barrett, who is a full-time business Professor at the Jack Welch Management Institute (JWMI). Not only does he have great insights and stories, but he knows how to take the lessons from the past and make them work in today’s fast-paced world.
Mario Barrett has over twenty-five years of progressive leadership experience both on active duty in the US Air Force as well as across several industries in the private sector including Fortune 100 companies. Currently, Mario is CEO of The Barrett Center for Leadership Development, LLC, a global leadership and organizational development firm. In addition to his professional work, Mario has authored several bestselling leadership books: Leading from the Inside-Out… and Eleven Leadership Practices that Will Change Your Life. He is also a frequent speaker and blogger on leadership and organizational change issues.
As it relates to teaching, Mario has over a decade of both face-to-face and online teaching experience at several colleges and universities from the undergraduate to the doctoral level. However, he is especially proud to be one of the founding professors at the Jack Welch Management Institute (JWMI). During his time at JWMI, he has been recognized for his teaching and developing of his students having served as a member of Strayer University’s Distinguished Scholars Council (2012-2013), received the inaugural Jack Welch Management Institute Outstanding Faculty Award (2014), Strayer University’s highest honor and most distinguished award (The Strayer Irving Award–2016), JWMI’s inaugural Faculty Leadership Award (2016) and again in (2017).
