TaylorWINTER 2000 Dr. Kesler on Leadership
Leadership has stood as a hallmark of a Taylor education for over a century and a half. In recent years, the gentle management style of President Jay Kesler has helped to foster the University as a greenhouse for leadership development. An internationally-recognized speaker and author, Dr. Kesler offers much wisdom to emerging leaders. The following are excerpts from an interview with Dr. Kesler.
Defining leadership A leader has to back off and let the people who are self-promoters, other person have the joy of doing, who equip themselves and offer

Throughout the cen- tury, visionaries have offered their personal insights on the characteristics of successful leaders. Theodore Rooseveh said it was sense and self- restraint; Eisenhower claimed a sense of humor was essential. Indira Gandhi said the abihty to get along with people is vital to leadership, while General H. Norman Schwarzkopf cited a combination of strategy and character; popular author Stephen Covey put initiative and patience at the top of his hst. The variety of opinions available proves leadership is hard to define and even harder to develop. Lead- ers do not learn their skill in the classroom; they learn to lead by applying a Httle elbow grease, taking notes on their mistakes and successes, and moving on to the next project. Lessons in leadership occur in the workplace, as the following four Taylor gradu- ates wiUingly share. What characteristics do they possess? All of the above. 4 TAYLOR Winter 2000 When Sam Wolgemuth '65 became CEO of Freedom Communica- "herding cats" - uniting independent creatures and pushing them tions, his only experience in the paper business was as a delivery boy toward a shared objective.

They invited her to a Bible study where she could practice her En- glish and learn more about the faith they spoke of so openly. Natasha, raised in the Russian Orthodox Church, was overwhelmed with the open relationship between the Americans and the God they worshipped. She soon committed herself to the Lord, too, and the missionaiies committed themselves to finding a way for Natasha to study in the United States. Now Natasha is pursuing a degree in business administra- Natasha Sizikova tion at TUU. She enjoys studying under the professorship of Jim Taylor University student Coe and other instructors, who she says mentor her profession- ally and spiritually. "I have a dream to start a Christian agency for adoption of Russian orphans, and be able to serve others using my business skills and experi- ences I received at Taylor," she says. Her education is due in part to the persistence of her missionary friends, and also to the generosity of faithful alumni and friends who provided scholarship money. Natasha's pai^ents, overwhelmed by the provision from total strangers, wrote the following letter, which they sent with a small wall hanging, pictured below. Please accept our heartfelt greetings and thanks in appreciation of your kind help to our daughter, Natalya (Natasha) Sizikova, who is now a student at your college. We are endlessly thankful to Godfor you and your caring hearts, wh<) made it possible for her to continue her studying at Taylor Unfortunately, we can 't express our gratitude to you in person and demonstrate it with a big loving Russian hug and a special dinner But, please, accept this humble present from us.

Patterson, stoic in victory or defeat, feels like his work is notfinished. "I know some people would like me to jump up and down '" and say 'This is the greatest day ofmy life, Patterson commented afierwards. "Butfor me, Td like to win 600-700 games. That would be something. Patterson, 461-198 in his 21st season at Taylor, has been on the sidelines for many memorable wins including a 64-57 come- from-behind win over top-ranked Wisconsin - Eau Claire at the 1991 NAM Nationals. The win allowed the Trojans to advance to their only Final Four. The 1996-97 team defeated conference rival and eventual national champion Bethel twice, and Pattersons teams have made 10 trips to the NAIA nationals.
