The Center for Leadership, Innovation, and Change (CLIC) at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business is sponsoring a panel on the “Business Athletes” leadership model at the Smith School Business Summit on Nov. 13, 2015, in Baltimore.
The panel will feature Senior Associate Dean Joyce Russell and leaders from a variety of professions – from marketing to sports to finance – to foster a discussion on the qualities that great athletes share with great business leaders.
Students, alumni and members of the Smith community at large are invited to the panel to learn more about some of the key differentiators of the best athletes and top business leaders and how the “business athlete” model can be employed to rise to the top.
