Leadership: Ed Reed, NFL Hall of Famer and Bethune-Cookman College with Dr. Daryl Green

Leadership: Ed Reed, NFL Hall of Famer and Bethune-Cookman College with Dr. Daryl Green, Part 2

My guest is Dr. Daryl Green. Dr. Green is the Dickinson Chair of Business professor at Oklahoma Baptist University in Oklahoma City. After a 27 year career as a Mechanical Engineer at the Department of Energy, he pivoted to a leadership role in higher education in business management. This morning we will talk about leadership.

Last week we introduced the topic of football legend Ed Reed’s dismissal from Bethune-Cookman, a HBCU Christian college in Daytona Beach, Florida. This controversial decision by this Historically Black College’s Interim President has received nationwide attention.

As a Professor of Leadership in a Christian College, Dr. Green brings a unique perspective to the challenges faced by both the institutional leaders and the informal role of leadership of a celebrity athlete with students and fans. I expect a lively discussion with Dr. Green, so let’s get started!
