What Maya Angelou’s Poetry Teaches Us About Leadership

Mike Haynie, Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation and IVMF founder and executive director, wrote commentary for USA Today entitled “How business leaders can prepare for work life after the pandemic: Read Maya Angelou.”

Haynie spoke about leadership, saying, “What I’ve learned from studying those who do fit the traditional leader stereotype is that Angelou’s ability to understand and translate the human condition is most often the attribute and ability that distinguishes a skilled executive from the few who truly epitomize a transformative leader.”
