(Originally aired: March 8, 2017) Guest: Harry Kraemer, Clinical Professor of Strategy, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University Things move so fast in the modern business world that leaders often have to move quickly and juggle a lot of things at once. Parents can relate to that pressure, too. So this advice will apply to pretty much anyone under the gun to get a lot done at home or at work. Harry Kraemer’s first principle of successful leadership is self-reflection. He says leaders should spend 15 minutes a day quietly reflecting.

Guests: Clarence Nero, Professor of Creative Writing, Baton Rouge Community College; DeLisa Brown, Recent Graduate, Baton Rouge Community College The summer of 2016 was traumatic for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was there that Alton Sterling, a black man, was fatally shot by a couple of white police officers in a convenience store parking lot. Video of the shooting sparked angry protest locally, and around the country. A few weeks later, a black man shot and killed three police officers and wounded three others at a Baton Rouge shopping mall. And shortly after that, historic flooding inundated the city. The intensity and trauma of that summer for Baton Rouge is at the center of a collection of essays written by students at Baton Rouge Community College. The title of their book is “Voices from the Bayou.”
