Leadership Development

Educating Leaders for a Lifetime of Learning and Honor

The goal of Leadership Development is to create a culture of shared leadership that stresses

• individual significance
• personal honor and integrity
• harmonious relationships with others
• the responsibility to serve society through the productive use of talent and training.

All persons have leadership capabilities which will be explored and developed through diverse co-curricular activities. The program emphasizes leadership that is based on these foundations:

• tangible bases of leadership are external, objective, material, involving specific skill sets.
• intangible bases are internal, subjective and are more process-oriented.

Effective leadership combines both the head and the heart, the tangible and intangible skills and qualities.

The Director, William "Burr" Datz, works collaboratively with the Campus Activities Staff and the Director of Health Promotion to promote Washington and Lee University's core values of academic excellence, civility, personal honor and integrity.
