As an ISI board member, I have
been lucky to serve with many terrific board members and presidents. Former ISI President Jim Lange had a unique ability to listen, analyze a challenge and offer a logical solution. (He is not one to say much, but when he speaks, you pay attention because what he says is meaningful and helps you work toward a solution.) Former ISI President Jim Hartnett knew the importance of details, but he also knew not to get caught up in them as too much information can cloud a decision. (Jim is always good at knowing what he does not know and learning from others.) Current ISI President Rob McBride has shown me the importance of having a plan but to always be willing to listen and adapt a plan so that everyone has input. Rob has also shown me the importance of resiliency and that any challenge can be overcome if you trust
good people to do what is right and to know when to stay out of their way so they can do the work. Good leaders, like all of ISI’s presidents, appreciate the value of all of those around them and realize that more gets done when everyone works together.
A true leader also is reflected in the
legacy that they leave behind. Certainly, all of the board members and those who have worked in the office over the years have left a legacy that will live well into the future. Tere is no greater example of this than our current office staff. I think former ISI Executive Director Peter Martell’s greatest legacy was giving all of our current leaders in the ISI office the foundation and tools to succeed even in the most adverse circumstances. No organization recovers from where ISI was a few years ago without outstanding management, perseverance, hard work
and determination. Te culture and the “can do” attitude that Liz Mangelsdorf, Kim Hansen and Jeff Anderson and all in the ISI office have shown is perhaps ISI’s greatest example of leadership and is an inspiration to me and all those who work with them.
I am not sure if great leaders are born
or raised a certain way; I suppose it is a combination of both. All those whom I’ve had the honor of serving with on the board — not just presidents — have taught me how to be a better leader, manager and individual. ISI has been blessed with gifted leadership throughout its history — from the forefathers to the board members of today. Tey have all had vision, the ability to adapt with the times and the dedication to keep this organization going and growing. Here’s to another 60 years of outstanding leadership!
