Bennis was an American scholar, organizational consultant and author who is widely regarded as a pioneer in the field of Leadership studies. Storage Unit: 67 Biographical note Warren Bennis, educator, author, and consultant, received his B.A in psychology and business from Antioch College and his Ph.D in economics and social science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Following the completion of his Ph.D, Bennis worked to establish the study of leadership as an academic field, spending several years on the faculty of MIT’s Sloan School of Management, later becoming Chairman of the Organizational Studies Department. He has served on faculties of Harvard and Boston Universities. He also taught at the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC), INSEAD, and the Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 1967, Bennis accepted the appointment of Provost and Executive Vice President at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. Bennis left SUNY Buffalo to serve as the 22nd President of the University of Cincinnati from 1971-1977. Through his leadership, the university transitioned from a municipal university to a major research-oriented university and a member of the University System of Ohio. Both SUNY Buffalo and the University of Cincinnati awarded honorary degrees to Bennis in 2007. In total, he received honorary degrees from 15 institutions. In addition to his teaching and administrative work, Bennis has advised four presidents of the United States and served on many high-level advisory boards, including the White House Task Force on Science Policy. He also served as an advisor to Fortune 500 companies and their equivalents around the world. He has served on the boards of the American Chamber of Commerce, Claremont University Center, and the Salk Institute, among others. Bennis joined the USC faculty in 1979 as professor of business administration, and during his 35 year tenure earned the distinction of being appointed both a Distinguished Professor and University Professor. He was the founding chairman of the USC Marshall School's Leadership Institute, which is dedicated to preparing future generations for the business and public sectors through real-world training. In addition to teaching, the majority of Bennis’ 30 published books were written or co-written during his time at USC, along with hundreds of essays and articles. At USC, Bennis also continued to consult with business leaders and served on various USC committees, such as search committees for USC's President, to committees reviewing everything from undergraduate education to facultry appointments and promotions.

  • A Personal Remembrance of Warren Bennis Larry C
    A PERSONAL REMEMBRANCE OF WARREN BENNIS LARRY C. SPEARS Larry Spears and Warren Bennis, January 21, 2010, in California. n January 2010, I fulfilled a decades-long dream of driving Route 66 from Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier and back. I On Jan. 21, 2010 I celebrated making it to the Pacific Ocean by 41 visiting with a dear friend, the noted leadership author Warren Bennis, who lived in Santa Monica. Warren and I met for coffee and conversation at a hotel near the beach. As I was waiting for him, I recalled some of our previous interactions over the years. In the late-1990 s, Warren and I had served together on the early board of the International Leadership Association, then led by Barbara Kellerman. We generally met at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. In May 2000 I had travelled to the University of Southern California to participate in a Festschrift honoring Warren on his 75th birthday. I recall it as being a wonderful recognition of Warren s contributions to our understanding of leadership, and servant-leadership. In 2002 I included an essay written by Warren ( Become a Tomorrow Leader ) in Focus on Leadership (John Wiley & Sons, 2002). In 2003 I travelled to Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I produced a videotaped presentation of Warren and conducted an interview with him. I recalled his Five C s of Organizational Integrity: Caring, Constancy, Competence, Congruency, and Candor. In 2008, Warren wrote the Foreword to Scanlon Epic Leadership (Scanlon Foundation, 2008), a book that I edited with my friend Paul Davis.

Important advances have been made in gender and education equality in the last several decades, but millions of girls continue to live without access to quality education and opportunities to develop personal agency. The Unit- ed Nation’s 2015 Sustainable Development Goals enshrine inclusive, equitable, and quality education and the empowerment of women and girls as a global focus for the next ten years. Facing this challenge, the 2016 Advanced Leadership Initiative Deep Dive on Education and Gender Equality at Harvard University identified both key strategies and outstanding challenges in the global fight for gender empowerment in education.
