Leading the Tippie of Tomorrow

Being the CEO of your life requires the ability to look at the horizon while keeping your feet on the ground. In this episode, we explore how to maintain a vision for long-term planning while still navigating the immediate, often noisy demands of day-to-day leadership.

In this episode, we hear from Amy Kristof-Brown, the Henry B. Tippie Dean of the University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business. A professor and expert in person-environment fit, Amy shares how to lead the “Tippie of tomorrow” today by balancing strategic goals with the realities of current management. She discusses the challenge of self-leadership and how to stay focused on your highest priorities even when short-term fires are constantly competing for your attention.

Later in the show, we hear from Tippie student Brynn Pietzsch. Brynn’s story takes us back to a pivotal leadership lesson she learned at a young age, exploring how those early experiences shape the way we manage ourselves and others today.

And finally, we will bring it all together with a Final Tip(pie) just for you.
