Earlier this year at the CCCU International Forum in Dallas, CarterBaldwin had the opportunity to lead a breakout session on Best Practices for Building Transformational Teams and selecting the right leader in seasons of transition. We have since sat down with Dr. Nathan O. Hatch, former President of Wake Forest University, Provost at Notre Dame, and author of The Gift of Transformative Leadership, to reflect on what truly drives meaningful change within institutions.
Drawing from his experience, Dr. Hatch reinforces an important distinction: while the language of “transformation” is everywhere, real change is often more complex, patient, and grounded than it is portrayed to be. In our conversation, he shares candid insights on what enables transformation, what can quietly undermine it, and how leaders and boards can better discern what their institution truly needs in seasons of transition.
We’re pleased to share this conversation with you and hope it serves as a helpful resource as you navigate leadership and organizational change.
