In this special episode we are joined by Barry Matthews, Group Deputy General Counsel at the Pennon Group Plc, and Holly Moore, Legal Advisor in the in-house legal team at broadcaster ITV. We explore how you can develop a career path as an in-house lawyer, how the role differs from other types of legal practice, the opportunities such pathways offer, the skills which help you to succeed as an in-house lawyer, and how the role is changing. In this episode, Barry and Holly explain how they each developed their career paths to in-house legal roles and what attracted them to this area of legal practice.  For Barry, this was a route via private practice in a City law firm, whilst Holly gained an in-house solicitor apprentice role and went directly into in-house practice.  Areas discussed include the diversity of the roles and opportunities, and the closeness of the in-house legal role to the commercial business you are advising. Holly speaks about the fast-moving, and varied work at ITV from commercial negotiations to drafting and brand protection work.  Also Holly discusses how the in-house role gives a great “helicopter view” of the business as her role rotated through different departments during training.  Barry also emphasises the variety of his in-house work at a senior level, ranging from the legal and commercial strategy work to collaborating with academic partner organisations on societal issues such as water supply resilience.  Both guests talk about skills such as agility, project management and relationship building as being key to success – and how they see in-house legal functions developing in the future. Actions and resources for listeners:·         Check this webpage to find out some differences between working as an  in-house lawyer and in private practice.On this list of “10 Business Skills every in-house lawyer should master”, where are you already strong, and which 1 skill could you work more to develop?

[00:00:00] Lynn Erdman: If you want to work for somebody your entire career, be a Physician's Assistant. And so I thought, okay, that makes me think I'm going to do a nurse. So he was also instrumental and at least helped me think through the process. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ [00:00:15] Tommy Thomas: Our guest today is Lynn Erdman. Lynn started her career as a nurse, but it didn't take long for her leadership skills to be recognized. She rose through the ranks of nursing and moved into healthcare administration and ultimately into senior leadership in the nonprofit sector. Lynn holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from the University of North Carolina Greensboro and a Master's in Nursing from the University of South Carolina. She served as the Vice President of Medical Affairs for the American Cancer Society and the Vice-President of Community Health for Susan G. Komen for The Cure. She was the CEO of the Association of Women's Health Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses. And most recently the Executive Director for Carolina Breasts Friends in Charlotte, an organization that provides education, compassion, and support to people experiencing breast cancer. She's an adjunct faculty member at UNC Charlotte School of Nursing and a member of the consulting faculty at the Duke University School of Nursing. When she retired from her role at Carolina Breast Friends, she returned to her first love of nursing, where she is the nurse for a thriving healthcare nonprofit in Charlotte. Let's pick up on that conversation now. So, what are people always surprised to learn about you? [00:01:41] Lynn Erdman: I think people are surprised that I don't like surprises. I like to know what's going on, what's going to happen. And surprising me doesn't always work. [00:01:54] Tommy Thomas: I interviewed a nurse. I guess the third episode of my podcast was Holly Moore. She started out in nursing and got over into, I think, as I remember, she was the first female vice president of a large pharmaceutical company. She thought that a nursing career was one of the best careers that anybody in senior leadership could have because of the forced decision-making and the methodical decision-making. What are your thoughts on that? It's the creativity and the ability to figure out problems that I like the most in nursing.  You've got a patient who's struggling, you've got a team of people that can't figure out what to do with the patient, and yet together you come up with an idea and it solves the problem.  [00:02:26] Lynn Erdman: I certainly think there's some decision-making in there, but I think it's the creativity and the ability to figure out problems that I like the most in nursing. You've got a problem in front of you. You've got a patient who's struggling, you've got a team of people that can't figure out what to do with the patient, and yet you can come up with an idea and it solves the problem. So the ability to work with lots of different people and to have the ability to question things and look for a different solution has always been something I liked about nursing. [00:03:08] Tommy Thomas: So, think back to your first management job when you actually had people reporting to you. What are your memories? [00:03:16] Lynn Erdman: My memories are that I didn't do a very good job. I wasn't sure what a leader was supposed to do. I thought if I just set the direction and said, this is what we're going to do for this particular project, that people would follow. That doesn't really work. So, I had to sit down and think and say, all right that didn't work. What do I need to do? And realized pretty quickly, that the more buy-in and input I get from the team members, the better off. Whatever project it is that we're working on, the outcome is going to be a lot better if I've got some buy-in and some input.  And people at least know what they're supposed to do and they feel like they are making a difference there. [00:04:01] Tommy Thomas: Successful people are often asked, what makes you so successful? I like to frame the question this way. What's a factor that's helped you succeed that most people on the outside wouldn't realize? One of the things that has helped me most in my career is learning from my mistakes.  Making a mistake, owning the mistake, learning from the mistake. [00:04:12] Lynn Erdman: Oh, my goodness. I think lots of things have helped me succeed, but probably making mistakes has been one of the things that's helped me succeed the most. I've made lots of mistakes in my career where I've looked at something and thought this was the path to go down and found out that it wasn't. But I think owning up to the mistake and then saying, okay, what did I learn from that? And asking how could I do that differently in the future has been something that has helped my career and not being afraid to make a mistake and to take a risk. That's one of the things that I think has made me successful. I'm willing to try something. [00:04:53] Tommy Thomas: It's been said that we often learn more by our mistakes or our failures.  If that's the case, why are most of us so afraid to make a mistake or fail? [00:05:06] Lynn Erdman: I think that it's the fear of being judged. Somebody is going to look and say I'm putting you in that category or wow, I wouldn't have done that. And it's how it reflects. [00:05:21] Tommy Thomas: You being from the south, you would understand the expression having your medal tested.  Take us to a time in your career when your medal was tested and how did you come out of it? [00:05:33] Lynn Erdman: I can remember an early time in my career. I had just I'd finished graduate school about a year before that, had worked on a research project that I was proud of, had worked with three other people on the project, and really wanted to get that published. And so, I worked with them. Nobody wanted to do it. They were finished with graduate school. They were moving on. And so, I wrote up the paper, sent it to all of them, and they said, we're not interested. Just leave our names off. We're not interested. Anyway, to make a long story short, the journal that I turned it into accepted the article. It was an international journal, regarded. I sent them a letter saying, we've been accepted, and they said, oh, then we want our names on it and we want them in alphabetical order which meant my name moved down the list. I can remember being so devastated thinking all right, am I even going to do this? Am I going to publish this article just, you know, out of spite or anger or whatever else? The article was published. It was published in alphabetical order, but from there, I learned not only if you communicate, it doesn't always solve the problem. You've got to just decide, I can accept things certain ways and move on. ++++++++++++++++++ [00:07:02] Tommy Thomas: Richard Paul Evans, a novelist that I read a lot, says sometimes the greatest hope in our lives is just a second chance to do what we should have done right in the first place. What's going on in your mind and your heart when you think about giving a staff member a second chance? [00:07:20] Lynn Erdman: Always looking at where are they in the workforce. How long have they been working with me? That's not a determining factor, but what are they contributing to what we're doing and to the mission here? And what is the reason that they've made a mistake? Is it something that they regret? Are they remorseful at all? Those types of things. I'm looking for all of that. But I always want somebody to have a second chance if they're interested in having a second chance. And I found that there are times when the employee just does not want a second chance. They're so embarrassed by whatever the mistake was that they would rather leave the organization than stay and work and deal with kind of recovering from the episode. [00:08:18] Tommy Thomas: So many leaders have been in leadership roles where the experience was very different than they expected. Has this happened to you? And if so, what'd you learn? [00:08:30] Lynn Erdman: Oh yes. I can remember accepting a position. I was working in Chicago at that point in time and I started on my first day, I got there, I'd read the job description, and I'd done interviews with a number of people who had described the position thoroughly. It was a totally different role than I had expected and a totally different set of responsibilities. And so, I can remember talking to the person who had hired me and said this is not what we discussed, and I want to make sure I can do it. Because I'm happy to have the job, I'm excited to have the job, but if I can't perform at the level, I want to be able to perform to meet all these goals, then I want to relook. We ended up working things out, it all worked fine. But yes, I was surprised that these additional ten things were on the list, and they were more important than what we talked about in the interview. [00:09:33] Tommy Thomas: So, I guess maybe that taught you a little bit about when you're hiring people to make sure that everything is spelled out? [00:09:39] Lynn Erdman:  Yes, it's not fair to people if they don't know what they're coming in and being responsible for. [00:09:48] Tommy Thomas: You've progressed up through nursing through all kinds of senior positions. How do you decide what a good leadership role looks like for you? [00:09:58] Lynn Erdman: I've actually turned down two CEO roles during my career and those were hard choices in my life to try to decide. I had gotten all the way through the interview process, and they were ready to offer me the position and I sat down reading through everything again. And I thought I don't think I can do exactly what they want me to do and be successful in the way. That I want to be successful here. And so, I think I would be better served to look at a different avenue, look at a different type of position. It was a particular area of specialty that I had great knowledge in, but I had not had a lot of experience in. So, it's a wonderful opportunity, but I decided on that. I can remember the board being very disappointed at that type of thing, but I know it was the right decision to move on. But those are the things I don't always see people have the ability to make that type of decision. They'll go in and they'll take something, and they'll just be there and not be able to deliver on the job and that's never a good thing. [00:11:22] Tommy Thomas: At what point in your career did you begin to feel comfortable in your leadership skin? [00:11:28] Lynn Erdman: I'm not sure that I ever got completely comfortable. I'm always learning. I love to read articles on leadership or look at different things and obviously, I'd love to have a mento. I've been a mentor to a lot of people, but I always have someone that I think I can learn from and look at how they manage certain things and learn from them. I think I can always learn. I'm certainly comfortable in the leadership role now. But again, I think it's something you can always get better.  [00:12:07] Tommy Thomas:  What do you remember about your first mentor? [00:12:12] Lynn Erdman:   My first mentor was the person who hired me at Presbyterian Hospital. He was the CEO there. And I remember the reason he was part of the interview process is because I was their first clinical nurse specialist that they had ever hired at this large hospital. And so, he wanted to be in on the process because he said, I don't even know what a clinical nurse specialist does. If I'm going to have one of these on my team, with 450 plus employees, then I want to know what she's going to do. So that was very interesting. I developed a relationship with him and he was one that taught me a variety of things about how to care for people. He was an amazing leader at that hospital and I just watched him be respectful and caring of any and everybody that he came in contact with and that made a huge impression on me. And he used to always say, I live by the golden rule. And I think he really did. You do unto others like you would have them do to you. [00:13:23] Tommy Thomas: So, was that more of an informal process, or did y'all set up a weekly tutorial? [00:13:28] Lynn Erdman: We met a lot. Yeah. He ended up moving me from the oncology clinical nurse specialist after I'd done that position for several years and in that position, I was consulting with physicians. So, if there was a person in the hospital who was having an issue or had just been diagnosed with cancer, then I was the one called in to say, would you please come talk to this patient and family? I was the intermediary and the liaison between the physician, the patient, and the family. But after I'd done that several years the president of the hospital called me down and he said, I want to form a cancer center. I really want to build a cancer center here. And he ended up putting me in charge of the cancer center. So, I was the founding director of the cancer center at this large hospital. And that's when I developed a lot of my leadership skills and responsibility. [00:14:23] Tommy Thomas:   You've had several CEO slots in different kinds of organizations. Is it fair to ask you what's been your favorite senior leadership position? [00:14:36] Lynn Erdman: I think my most favorite was the director of the cancer center at this large hospital. I did that for a number of years, built it from the ground up, hired the physicians, hired the researchers, hired the social workers, the chaplains, opened the first inpatient hospice unit in the state, opened a pain management or palliative care unit, just a number of different things. And so, the learning and the experience in that time was overwhelmingly rewarding, and all the patients that I worked with during that time. So yes, I would label that as the top one. [00:15:16] Tommy Thomas:   Was that one of your early P&L responsibilities where you had a budget to manage? [00:15:22] Lynn Erdman: Oh, I had a huge budget to manage. Yes, and that was great learning. Lots of work with the CFO and the whole finance team, and yes, adding lots of different experiences and knowledge to the nursing background, essentially worked all the way through an MBA course without having to sit in the classroom, but getting it the other way. Spent time at Wharton during that time and went through the huge management course for hospital administrators, those types of things.  +++++++++++++++++++ [00:16:00] Tommy Thomas: Maybe not in your current job, but in maybe one of your previous CEO jobs, if I had to come along and you let me be in a staff meeting and we had dismissed you and I got a chance to be with your direct reports, what do you think they would have said would have been the most trying part of working with you? [00:16:18] Lynn Erdman: That I would listen to all aspects of a situation and then I would make a decision, instead of making one as a gut reaction or a knee-jerk reaction. This is on fire. Make a decision. Instead, I want to know if this is on fire, what else, what started the fire, what happened, what's around it, what's going to impact it. And then I'll make the decision as to what we need to do. And if so, fire might be a little bit exaggerated because obviously, you go put the fire out. But I would want to know all the aspects before making a decision. I think that was frustrating to people. They wanted me to just instantly decide what I wanted to do. [00:17:05] Tommy Thomas: Let's flip that. What would they have said was the most rewarding part of being on your team? [00:17:11] Lynn Erdman: Oh, that I had lots of empathy and understanding. I always knew what was going on in their personal lives for what they would share. And was extremely concerned about whether they took time off for themselves. Had they taken their vacation? If they were sick, how were they? I'm texting them to see how they are. Are the children okay? Those types of things.  I think the compassionate understanding when things go wrong in life, that you can still roll with it. [00:17:42] Tommy Thomas:   You mentioned earlier that you're a risk taker. Frederick Wilcox said that progress always involves risk. You can't steal second base with your foot on first. What's the biggest risk you've ever taken and how did it come out? [00:17:56] Lynn Erdman: The biggest risk I have ever taken was to start a completely new operation when I was the CEO of a large national nursing organization in Washington, D.C. and decided that I had heard comments from the board, we had talked through things and decided that we needed a new part of our organization to be able to meet the needs of a wide variety of nurses that were beginning to have a special interest in an area that we were covering. We started that and we needed to back it up and actually regroup several times within the project itself. It was a huge risk, not only because of the money that was going to cost to get it started, but was the revenue or the outcome going to be where we wanted? And were we going to be able to make a difference for the people that we were creating all this for, which ultimately were the patients. And it turned out that it was fine, but it was a very rocky road there for a period of time. Ended up pulling in people from all over the country into several talk sessions, think tanks, and those types of things to make the process move forward. [00:19:26] Tommy Thomas: What's been your greatest failure and what did you learn from it? [00:19:32] Lynn Erdman: My biggest failure, let's see I've had several where I had to back the truck up. I would say my biggest failure was choosing not to communicate with someone who I knew was very upset with the decision that I had made and tried to reach out to them. They didn't respond. And so, I just said I'm just going to put this to rest. And it turned out that we should have had a conversation. I should have pushed, and we should have talked all of that through, which happened later, but all of the in-between should not have happened. [00:20:15] Tommy Thomas: I interviewed a guy recently, and he said he was writing a book on the burdens of leadership.  The burdens of leadership that only the president or the CEO bear. If you were writing such a book, what would you cover? [00:20:29] Lynn Erdman: Oh, my goodness. Things that you see that you know need attention, but you're not sure how to deal with them. People that bring you problems and just dump them in your lap because you are at the top of the heap and expect you to solve them, but don't expect to have any part in solving them. In other words, they don't come with a solution, they come with a problem.  To me, that's one of the hardest roles within CEO. But the other biggest burden is not having anyone to talk with. It's a very lonely role at the top. Because you can't just say I'm going to talk to the board chair. Because it might be something that you actually shouldn't be sharing with the board chair. You need to figure out how all this is going to work before you do that. And so not having that person within the organization, I think, is one of the hardest. It's a big burden. So, you have to find your resources outside of the organization that you can trust and share with. [00:21:40] Tommy Thomas: What's the most dangerous behavior that you've seen derail leaders' careers? [00:21:46] Lynn Erdman: Lying, just being dishonest. When it happens the integrity of everything is destroyed. And I've certainly seen that with people, lack of communication, trying to think that I can just move forward. It's my decision. Or taking credit for others' work. When that happens, that is, these people are sitting in your audience and you are taking credit for something and you didn't do that work, they did. But you're not calling them out and saying, I'm really thrilled that this team came up with all these great ideas. ++++++++++++++++++++ [00:22:27] Tommy Thomas: Let's go to a little something lighter maybe. If you were a judge on a nonprofit Shark Tank, and some of these young entrepreneurs were coming to your panel of wealthy investors with these ideas.  What have you got to know before you open your pocketbook? [00:22:47] Lynn Erdman: I want to know what their mission is. I want to know what they've invested in this nonprofit. And I want to know who their other sponsors are. And if they don't get the money from Shark Tank or whoever is giving it, what's plan B? How are they going to move forward? And once, even if they get this money, what's the sustainability afterward? When this runs out, how are they going to keep the project going? [00:23:24] Tommy Thomas: In the same vein, if you were building a dashboard to look at the health of nonprofits, what would your dashboard monitor? [00:23:32] Lynn Erdman: Oh, I think it would monitor volunteers.  How many do they have?  Who's following their organization? Social media, how much money do they have coming in? If I'm looking at a dashboard and how many people are reaching out for their services, I always want to know. It could sound great. But if nobody is calling and needing their services, but they are continuing to raise the money, then there's a big red flag and a question about how much is this really needed. And then volunteers and staff as well. Are they dedicated to the mission? Have they got the right people in the right seats? Those types of things. [00:24:15] Tommy Thomas: I'd like you to respond to a few quotes before I go over into board service. I came across this quote this week. I attributed it to Mark Twain but who knows who originally said it. The only person who likes change is a baby with a wet diaper. [00:24:28] Lynn Erdman: True. [00:24:30] Tommy Thomas: Obviously you've been through a lot of change in health care over the years. What have you learned about change and how to get through it? Change is constant. If we are going to keep up and be innovative, we must change. [00:24:39] Lynn Erdman: Change is constant. We used to call the American Cancer Society when I worked there, “always changing something”. That's what it stood for ACS, always changing something, which was indeed true. But when I look back, I think part of the reason was things change in the world and if we were going to keep up and be innovative then we best be doing the same thing as well. I think we don't like change because we get comfortable with a particular way of doing things. And then all of a sudden when that's gone or doesn't look the same, then wait, how am I going to find that? I think we all struggle with change, although it makes the world go round, it's good for us. [00:25:24] Tommy Thomas: You won't rise to the occasion; you will sink to your level of preparedness. [00:25:31] Lynn Erdman: Yeah. That's true. That often happens. You've got to rise to the occasion many times. If you just stay with what you're prepared for, you will make absolutely no progress. So you've got to do something. I can remember when I was asked when I was at Northeast Medical Center and I was Vice President of Women's and Cancer Services and the President of the hospital called me one day and he said, I've got a project for you. And I thought all right, this would be something in cancer or women's services. Let's talk. And he looked at me over his desk and he said, I want you to change the culture in this hospital. And I thought, excuse me? This was a huge medical center, part of the Atrium system. And I looked at him. And I thought I know this isn't in my job description. I didn't say that out loud, but I thought it. And he said, I know you can do it and I'm putting you in charge. You can pick your team, but I want to turn around patient satisfaction and culture in this entire facility.  I left his office thinking I have an open book, a completely open drawing table. And I don't know where to go. I remember going back to my office thinking, all right, he believes in me. I'm sure I can do it. And I ended up pulling together a committee. A pretty big committee, because I wanted people from all over the hospital. And then a team, an executive team, that was going to do the work. We did training at Disney, and went through their whole program. Anyway, it was just fascinating. But I can remember sitting back across from this president in his office saying, you will do the training with the employees. Because if we're making this change, you have to be part of it. Because if you're not part of it, none of the rest of the employees think it's important to them or feel that they're going to need to do this. He went to both trainings and did the trainings as well in the hospital for all the employees. It was an incredible project. I worked on it for more than two years in addition to doing the job that I had which was to be over the cancer center and all the women's services in the hospital. When I think back that was one of the most rewarding things too that I have ever done in my career because not only did I watch myself grow in that process, but I also realized that somebody saw something in me that I did not see. And I didn't just turn my back and say I just can't do that. I went with it and it happened and the scores changed dramatically. We were written up all over the country for the incredible change that it made in patient satisfaction scores. We had Press Ganey coming to visit our hospital to find out what had been done. And to this day, I still have lunch with the four people that were part of that team. And none of us live in this area. We all come back in together and we get together at least six times a year. So, it's amazing sometimes what people see that you don't see. [00:29:07] Tommy Thomas: President Eisenhower said, I guess when he was a General, in preparing for battle, I've always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable. [00:29:18] Lynn Erdman: How true. Yes, the plans. Many times I throw the plans out the window because I've written them down. I've thought, okay, this is exactly what we need to do. And then you start working and it's not working. So you throw those out, you pull the team together, you get the best ideas and you move forward. [00:29:42] Tommy Thomas: From one of President Eisenhower's peers, General George Patton, “Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity”. [00:29:55] Lynn Erdman: This is true. I can remember when we needed to redo all of the programming. We just didn't have people attending programming for women with breast cancer and we had a plan, we had put things together, and it just wasn't working. And so we sat down and said, all right, here are all the different options, go be creative and come back with a solution. And wow, it looked so much better and so different than what we had ever started with. And that was when we had plans and threw them out the window and recreated and had something that people were flocking to. So yes I definitely agree.   Links and Resources JobfitMatters Website Next Gen Nonprofit Leadership with Tommy Thomas   Connect tthomas@jobfitmatters.com Follow Tommy on LinkedIn

Barry Corey: His Journey to Becoming the President of Biola University

[00:00:00] Barry Corey: It was almost like every 10 years I entered this new stage, but when I turned 20 and was captivated by higher education and scholarship, became an English major, that was a decade where I would say I lived this adventure of scholarship thinking and writing and growing and finishing all my degrees during my twenties. And then when I hit 30, Bob Cooley said, why don't you come and work for me? And that was my decade of apprenticeship when I feel like I was to be the apprentice of a master. And I spent really the better part of my thirties learning at the feet of someone who is really good at what he did and cared enough to allow me to apprentice under him. Scholarship in my twenties, apprenticeship in my thirties, and then it hit my forties. It was leadership. +++++++++++++++++++ [00:00:50] Tommy Thomas: Our guest today is Barry Corey, the president of Biola University. My friendship with Barry goes back almost 17 years when I led the search that brought Barry to Biola. That was an interesting search in many ways, but I believe that's the only search I've conducted where a trustee at the place where the candidate worked encouraged me to recruit him to another place. But that's what happened. Barry was leading the Advancement Department at Gordon Conwell Seminary. When I launched the search, I sent the announcement to my good friend Joyce Godwin. Who, unbeknownst to me, was also a trustee at Gordon Conwell. And Joyce called me and told me of the excellent work that Barry was doing at Gordon Conwell and suggested that he'd make an outstanding president at Biola. So, Barry, I guess at some level we have Joyce Godwin to thank for this chapter of your life. [00:01:42] Barry Corey: If there's someone I want to thank, Joyce is a great one to do. [00:01:47] Tommy Thomas: Thank you for joining us today. Before I jump into this, you and I have discussed this before, and I think it was an interesting part of the search. I've done searches where the board kind of rubber-stamped the search committee's work, and I've done searches where it was like a Senate confirmation hearing. And I think yours go to the end of the Senate confirmation hearing. Maybe it's a little bit of humor. Maybe tell our listeners your recollections of that? [00:02:15] Barry Corey: Thank you for bringing that up. I don't have too much PTSD over that, I will say. When Biola University launched its search for the eighth president it was following the 25-year presidency of my predecessor, who was just an outstanding leader, Clyde Cook. And I think that meant that most of these trustees had never been through a search process before. The only ones that had would have been the ones that had been on there for 25 years or more. And to that, I will add that in then the 100-year history of Biola, 115-16 years now they had never hired from the outside. They always cultivated their presence from within. I was 45 years old, so I was rather young. I was at a seminary, not at a university. I came from a theological tradition that Biola needed to be thinking a little bit more about. I wasn't nationally known. There were just lots of reasons why their due diligence needed to be pretty carefully done. So, I saw it as, let's go through all the hard conversations before the decision so that after the decision, those questions don't come up. So, they left no stone unturned. And I actually think that's a good process for boards to go through, to think through in great detail prior to the conversation about making an offer. [00:03:36] Tommy Thomas: I totally agree.  I thought they saw you in multiple venues. They saw you in the boardroom, they saw you at dinner and breakfast. And I just think it takes a while to get to know somebody. I'm a fan of that. I know it was probably a little bit painful at the moment, but I like that. I applaud boards that take that kind of due diligence.  Before I dig into your professional career, take me back to your childhood and what was it like to grow up in the Corey family? [00:04:02] Barry Corey: I was one of two kids, the younger of two. My sister is a year and a half older than I am. And we grew up in a very love-filled home. My father was a Pentecostal preacher in a hardscrabble town outside of Boston, Massachusetts. And by the time I was six, he went into some kind of supervisory role over the denomination. We had a lot of love in our family. My father was, I don't know the best way to put it, a little bit more of a mystic than a cleric. He just had this way of seeing people. What they needed to be seen. And he would equate it as being prompted by God to love everyone he came in contact with, even if he wasn't loved back. And that's why probably his theme verse for his life was Matthew 10:40, where Jesus says, whoever receives you receives me and whoever sees me receives the one who sent me. So, there are a lot of awkward moments, Tommy, in my life when he would hug the Islamic gas station attendant. I would slink down in the backseat of the Pontiac Bonneville, or he would pray over the counter with the Armenian cobbler. Or one time he had the audacity to hold Ruben's face in his hand. Ruben was this Jewish furniture merchant, and he just told him he loved him. And all those moments were awkward to me. But later on in life, as I reflected back, he wasn't being weird. He was actually being receivable, which Jesus says in Matthew 10:40, we are to be. A little snapshot of my family. [00:05:30] Tommy Thomas: What was high school like for you and your sister? My parents did an unorthodox thing and allowed me to go to an all-boys Catholic preparatory school. [00:05:31] Barry Corey:  High school years were pretty good. We were active in our youth group. My parents did an unorthodox thing and allowed me to go to an all-boys Catholic preparatory school called St. John's in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Had a great education there. The great contributions that Catholics have made to education and virtues and morals and the values that needed to be embedded in education. So that kind of set me on a bit of a trajectory to realize that faith-based education is a good thing. So, by the time I was thinking about going to college, I looked at a number of faith-based colleges and ended up at a midsize liberal arts college connected to our denomination in the middle of the country. [00:06:17] Tommy Thomas: How did you decide on your major or was it pretty determined? [00:06:22] Barry Corey: No, I went to be a Bible major, but I had as many stories as other students would say, I had a professor who saw something in me. I didn't see it myself. And he was an English professor. He said, hey, you seem to be a halfway decent writer. Why don't you take another class in composition and rhetoric and then in literature? And I ended up I think falling in love with literature as a major and I became an English major because of the professor who believed in me was an English professor. Now, if he was a physics professor, that might not have been the same case for me. Being an English major was good preparation for being a critical thinker, good writer, articulate speaker, problem solver, and team builder. But that was the reason why people would ask, what are you going to do with your English major? And I didn't really know. But, God makes crooked roads straight, and I see in retrospect how that major was so preparatory for how I can be a critical thinker, a good writer, an articulate speaker, a problem solver, and a team builder. So much is wrapped up in being a literature or English major that really pays dividends in all aspects of life, and I tell English majors this at Biola University today. +++++++++++++++++ [00:07:29] Tommy Thomas: How does an English major get into fundraising? [00:07:34] Barry Corey: I made a decision when I was 19 years old that this transformational experience I had at a Christian college if God so willed, I would enter that as a career and went on and pursued a master's degree in American Studies at Boston College, got hired by a former professor of mine who became the president of a small Christian college outside of Philadelphia, just where I cut my teeth on. Higher education administration. And part of it was a process of elimination. I didn't have an MBA, wasn't a business major. So, entering higher education through the finance channel was not an option. I didn't really think I had the scholarship aptitude to be a professor. I didn't actually think I was smart enough to be one. And I ruled out doing a Ph.D. in English Literature or American Literature. And so, I eliminated that, a few other things. Maybe by default the advancement side, I really enjoyed because it was articulating the vision of Christian higher education to those who would become investors to make it possible for students to attend. And I defaulted there, both at the school where I was working in Philadelphia, and then ended up being mentored by an extraordinary leader at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, and that was where I spent 16 years of my life. The first half of my first 16 years of my real serious post-doctoral career, I did a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration at Boston College. I think that's probably what happened, and I started in fundraising at Gordon Conwell, but actually ended up as the Academic Dean of the Faculty and Vice President for Education. So, I got over the academic side, but in a rather unorthodox way. [00:09:32] Tommy Thomas: Thinking back to your first management job when you actually had to manage somebody, what do you remember? [00:09:41] Barry Corey: I think I probably learned through a lot of mistakes I made as a young leader. Kept a lot of notes on what I did right and what I did wrong and realize I probably wanted to treat people the way I wanted to be treated. To see my gifts, be honest with me about where I have shortcomings, and help me be more prepared for what's next. [00:10:03] Tommy Thomas: At what time did you, I guess in your career, did you become, I'm going to say comfortable in your professional skin or your professional voice? When did you realize that maybe I have the makings of a leader? [00:10:19] Barry Corey: I don't know. I think I wanted to be a decision-maker. I didn't know where that would lead me. Bob Cooley was a futurist, and he made a deal that if I started working at Gordon Conwell Seminary, even though I wasn't reporting to him, he would mentor me. And there were those that maybe saw some things in me, like I mentioned earlier, Tommy, that I didn't necessarily see in myself. I had three remarkable mentors, one being my father, who I mentioned earlier, one being Bob Cooley, the longtime president of Gordon Conwell Seminary, who was a futurist, and he made a deal that if I started working at Gordon Conwell Seminary, even though I wasn't reporting to him, he would mentor me. And he did that until the day he died, and Leighton Ford and I eulogized him at his funeral just two years ago in Charlottesville. For 30 years he had been my mentor. And then his successor was a guy named Walt Kaiser. Many know Walt Kaiser as one of the leading Old Testament theologians. Being mentored by good leaders was something that I sought out and something today I feel I have an obligation to give out. He became the president of Gordon Conwell and in a very different way, he mentored me also. So, I think being mentored by good leaders was something that I sought out and something today I feel I have an obligation to give out. [00:11:25] Tommy Thomas: So you say Dr. Cooley was a futurist. I remember hearing him speak at your inaugural inauguration. It was amazing. What does a futurist look like in his life?  [00:11:39] Barry Corey: I think he could see things coming that others couldn't see. And he, I think, helped many of us look beyond the horizons of reality at what might be some new ways in which education is going to be delivered or boards are going to be governing, or faculty are going to be researching and teaching. He could just see things that we couldn't see. And he was a great help and he cared enough that he was willing to spend a lot of time with those under his tutelage, like me, and invest of himself. And if I look back at my own life, Tommy, because I know you're talking a lot about leadership here. It was almost like every 10 years I entered this new stage, but when I turned 20 and was captivated by higher education and scholarship, became an English major, that was a decade where I would say I lived this adventure of scholarship thinking and writing and growing and finishing all my degrees during my twenties. And then when I hit 30, Bob Cooley said, why don't you come and work for me? And that was my decade of apprenticeship when I feel like I was to be the apprentice of a master. And I spent really the better part of my thirties learning at the feet of someone who is really good at what he did and cared enough to allow me to apprentice under him.  When I hit 30, Bob Cooley said, “Why don't you come and work for me?” And that was my decade of apprenticeship when I feel like I was to be the apprentice of a master. Scholarship in my twenties, apprenticeship in my thirties, and then it hit my forties. It was leadership. I became the academic dean at a seminary. And then a few years later became the president of Biola University when I was 45 and, I think the scholarship and the apprenticeship prepared me for the leadership that I was experiencing in my forties, starting new things. And I just felt God had paved the way through people who believed in me and took chances on me, even when I had stumbled along the way. And then when I hit my fifties, I thought, it's time for me to start paying it forward. Maybe it's the decade of mentorship from scholarship to apprenticeship, to leadership, to mentorship. Who am I investing in the rising generation so I can pay it forward for those who invested in me? They had nothing to gain by investing in me, and I had everything to gain. So now I'm in my 60s, and it's a new ship.  ++++++++++++++++++ [00:14:01] Tommy Thomas: I know your time at Biola and Gordon Conwell, for the most part, people would say, man, Barry's been riding a crest, but I'm sure there have been times that tested your mettle.  Can you take us into one of those, and how did you come out of it? [00:14:16] Barry Corey: I'm writing a book now on the burdens of leadership which are burdens that top leaders of organizations uniquely bear. And that organization could be a Fortune 500 company, it could be a military unit, it could be the senior partner of a law firm, it could be a pastor of a church, or president of a university, or an owner of a family business. But it's where you have on the organizational structure, that one box at the top that person occupies. And when I stepped into this role as a leader of an organization, Biola has about a thousand employees, 500 students, and a 200-plus million-dollar budget. It was far bigger than anything I had ever experienced before. And I just realized that though I had worked alongside leaders, and I'd heard them talk about burdens. I finally understood them, not just intellectually, but existentially. And so that's the long lead into your question, Tommy. And there have been some real burdens that I've had to bear in this role. One of them is just this burden of loneliness. You're never alone, but you're the only one in your organization that has no peer. And so, friendships are different. The ways in which you relate to people are different and wrestle through that sometimes through trial and error. I've had situations where I was the recipient of legal lawsuits and litigation and just those kinds of burdens that come with leadership. There's the burden of surprises that you don't see things coming and when COVID came it was not anticipated. And of the 3,141 counties in America, only one county, Los Angeles County, where we are, completely shuttered every college and university in the county for 18 months, and we just couldn't get around that. And that was a tough season for us, but leaders have to be able to say we're going to get through this. We're going to overcome it. I've had sleepless nights and stressful times, but you have to live in this balance of reality and hope and communicate that to your own constituents that there is hope without being Pollyanna-ish. But this is also the reality of where we are. And that's another burden we bear is communicating hope with reality to our communities. That we're going to get through this. We're going to be strong on the other side. But sometimes it's hard to even believe it yourself. [00:16:51] Tommy Thomas: You mentioned the loneliness factor and I'm thinking of the board-chair-president relationship. Does that relationship alleviate that or do you still have an isolation piece there? [00:17:04] Barry Corey: No, I think it does, Tommy. Thanks for asking that. There have been four board chairs since I've been at Biola University. And, on a related note, I've often joked to say I'm in my fourth presidency of the same institution because the institution changes during the times that you're there. Now that I've entered my 17th year at Biola there are challenges that I'm facing now that I didn't face then, but the board chair-president relationship is vital and every board chair is going to have a different definition of what that looks like. And I thank God we've had four great chairs that were the right chairs for the right season that we are in. This morning I just finished an over an hour-long conversation, one-on-one with our board chair. And every two weeks, we cover the ground, but some of it's small talk, some it's how you're doing, and some of it's preparing for board meetings and others are like, what are the stressful issues that you're dealing with right now and how can we help? So, I think those Presidents or CEOs that I know have less communication with their board chairs. I just think they're in a tougher place. And I would just say I'm just so thankful for the board chair that Biola has and our ability to just be in regular contact with each other. He also chairs the committee on the president. At Biola University, which is the care and feeding of the president. And to a certain degree, you have to be able to talk honestly about some of the challenges that you're facing, but I will say, Tommy, that the board chair is not like your spiritual accountability partner. There's got to be those, including your own spouse in your life where you just let it all hang out. These are the things that I'm struggling with and dealing with. And these are my own depravity and everything else. So that's really not what the board chair needs to be. You need to be honest enough about the stresses of work and sometimes the stresses of home. But I would be careful not to substitute that with your own spiritual, encouraging, accountable brother or sister. [00:19:10] Tommy Thomas: 16 years, four chairs. So do y'all have a four-year term limit on the chair or has it just turned out that way? [00:19:16] Barry Corey: It's turned out that way.  I think six years, so I inherited the final two years of the previous chair, and we're in the first few years of the current chair.  [00:19:30] Tommy Thomas: All right. Do you and your cabinet create the agenda for the board meeting or how do you do it at Biola? [00:19:39] Barry Corey: Yeah, as it relates to board meetings, we have board meetings three times a year and we've made some changes. I think there are some essential dimensions of a board meeting that we have really been helped by. This might not be true for every nonprofit, but it certainly is true for us. One is that we spend a lot of time on board education. An educated board is an effective board. So, when I started at Biola, there would be four one-day meetings a year. And it was just pretty much, get through the agenda, lots of show and tell if there's a crisis, how are we going to deal with it? And then, we're in Southern California. So, people who wanted to be on the road by four o'clock, so they didn't get in all the traffic. Now we have three, two-day meetings. And I think two-day meetings are so important because it allows some of the discussion happening one day to be reflected on overnight. A governing body is dealing with and responsible for two things. One is financial solvency and the other is missional fidelity. And sometimes with that gestation period or whatever, it's fermenting in your own mind overnight. It allows you to think about things and maybe not rush through issues as much. And so, we spent a lot of time on board education sessions and spent a lot of time on what are the major accomplishments that we need to make sure that the board as a governing body, not an administrative body, but a governing body is dealing with and the board ultimately is, in my mind, responsible for two things. One is financial solvency and the other is missional fidelity. Sometimes you have missional fidelity, but if you're not financially solvent, a lot of good that's going to do sometimes you get financial solvency, but if you're not missionally faithful, then you're a bit like a rudderless ship. So, everything in our board conversations ultimately comes down to that. How are we staying missionally faithful? Sometimes that means dealing with legal aspects that are happening in our culture, in our state in Washington. Legislation that's going through. We're in a pretty bright blue state here in California, and we're a conservative Christian university, and we have to operate differently in many ways than if we were a conservative Christian university in a more sympathetic state. So, the board is so key to helping us deal with these kinds of missional fidelity and fiscal solvency issues. [00:21:55] Tommy Thomas: Does your board get involved in the overall risk management of the university, or do you keep that at the cabinet level? [00:22:01] Barry Corey: On a micro way, we keep it within the administration on risk management. On a macro level, the board is intimately involved in this because there are certainly viable threats to our business model that would be considered under the category of risk management. And that could be, how are we operating within our budget and how are we stewarding our resources and our quasi-endowment for long-term sustainability? How are we anticipating legislation or legal action that might jeopardize our deeply held convictions? Those are all risk management issues. So at the macro level, the board is very involved in those conversations. But as it relates to should we have skateboards on campus? The board's not. [00:22:49] Tommy Thomas: All right. That's good. Okay. So would you say your board is, if the Carver model is on one end of the continuum and whatever might be on the other end of the continuum, where do y'all operate on that as a board? [00:23:06] Barry Corey: We are somewhat of a policy-driven board, but I think policy becomes a little bit of the fallback. Let's not spend so much time developing policy that we're not thinking about our own future. And so, we probably have a balance on our board between, do we have the right policies in place? And are we dreaming and thinking about what kind of board we need to be in the future and what kind of university we need to be in the future that doesn't lock us into a kind of strict board parameters that prohibit us from maybe letting our imaginations go and basically thinking about what a new wineskin looks like at Biola. And I've often thought about this, is maybe a bit of a tangent, Tommy, but I think it's germane. Boards and Presidents can make two historical mistakes: They can be nostalgic – this is the way we have always done it. They can be amnesic – they forget about their founding principles. And that is I think that there are one of two historical mistakes that presidents can make, and boards can make. They can be nostalgic. Basically saying, hey, the way we've always done things is in essence who we are, therefore we're going to keep on doing things the same way. And that can lead really to being irrelevant or maybe mistaking that your methods are synonymous with your mission. So being nostalgic can be a real detriment to future thinking leadership of a board and of a president. But another mistake that presidents and boards can make, it's not just being nostalgic, but it's being amnesic. And by amnesic, they forget about their founding principles. They forget about their values and virtues and why was the institution established in the first place, and going back to the founders' vision and trying to embody and encase that. I spent three days undercover at a well-known college that has been around for 177 years or so. And they do this well. They haven't wavered from their founding mission, and I think that's what's made them so strong today. Because I think colleges and universities need not to blend in, but stand out and they don't need to be indistinguishable. They need to be distinguishable. And part of that is like, why did we start in the first place? And how are boards and presidents talking about that founding vision and founding mission in a way that keeps the board focused on the distinctiveness of Biola University that our world needs more than ever before? +++++++++++++++++ [00:25:36] Tommy Thomas: What's the most creative thing y'all have done at Biola that worked? [00:25:41] Barry Corey: We took a chance a number of years ago of really expanding our cinema and media arts program. We're located close to Hollywood, and we thought, we need four things. We need students to come here and not go elsewhere where they're not going to get a solid Christian-based education. Two, we need a visionary dean that is the leader that will take us there so that it comes out of the industry. Three is we need faculty that have great experience in the industry but are committed to the virtues of Biola University. And four, we needed a studio building to encompass this. And, by God's grace, this is all happening. Our program is growing like crazy. It's now ranked in the top 20 by variety in the country. And we just got like far and away, our largest gift. More than twice what we've ever received in Biola's history. And that was to help us build this building. And we're now going to have a building as part of the Snyder School of Cinema and Media Arts, the Snyder family being the founding family of In-N-Out Burger, who many people know, located here in Southern California honoring the Snyder family and their commitment to not just to media but their commitment to innovation, to opportune entrepreneurship, and certainly the commitment to the gospel. [00:26:57] Tommy Thomas: What's the most dangerous behavior that you've observed that derailed leaders' careers? [00:27:06] Barry Corey: Let me think about that for a second. I certainly feel like where I try to protect myself is to try not to think too highly of myself, but more highly of the office that I hold. And I think that sense of equating your own self-worth with your position and again, the ego and can get wrapped up in that can be very unhealthy to leaders. And it often leads to slacking off on moral and ethical standards because you think you deserve something. So I think that is it. I even try to do small things, Tommy, like I try not to talk about my vice presidents or my faculty or my board chair. They're not mine. They're the university's faculty, the university's vice presidents, the university's board, and the university's board chair. I even try not to say, come to my office to somebody else, they come to the president's office. It's an office that I have been asked to steward during this season and be a good custodian of it. But when I start thinking it's mine, I just think, in my mind at least, unhealthy fruit can be born out of that. So that's one bit of advice I keep on reminding myself, that I am a steward of this office for the season that God has called me to it. And I will say a little story about that, we used to have this big portrait outside of our residence hall of my predecessor, Clyde Cook, 25 years, just a beloved president. And I'd walk down there sometimes. And I'd say, who's that? And they say, I don't know. And I don't say that to disparage my predecessor. I say that to remind myself that, four years after I'm gone, rotate through one class of students. No one's going to know who I am. So, live faithfully the years that you've been entrusted with. Do the best you can. Stay missionally faithful, be innovative, take some risks, but just realize that you and the title you hold are not synonymous. I've got a bookmark on my desk that says, imagine what you would try if you knew you couldn't fail. [00:29:14] Tommy Thomas: If it's true that most of us learn from our failures more than we learn from successes, why are most of us so afraid to fail? [00:29:24] Barry Corey: I think for the same reason I tell students, it's just because you fail doesn't mean you're a failure. And I've got a bookmark on my desk that says, imagine what you would try if you knew you couldn't fail. So I do think that there's a fine line. If everything you try doesn't work out, then it sounds like the board needs a new president. But I do think if you're so risk-averse, then you're not stewarding well the office that you've been called to hold.  [00:29:51] Tommy Thomas: If you could go back and tell a younger version of yourself something, what would you tell him? [00:29:59] Barry Corey: Oh, you know what? I probably wouldn't tell him anything. I'm afraid if I told him something, then he might be more risk-averse. I'm just glad no older version of me told the younger version of me anything. Are there mistakes that I made that I wished I hadn't and things I would have avoided? Yeah, probably, but I like looking back at the crooked roads that I didn't see coming. And how Jesus and Isaiah say that God makes crooked roads straight and that which looks like it's twisting and turning when I'm going through it in the rearview mirror, it all seems to make sense.  And I guess that's just providence. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Next week will be the 100th episode of NextGen Nonprofit Leadership with Tommy Thomas. When I began the podcast, my podcast mentor told me that there was bad news and good news about early podcast episodes. The bad news is that the early episodes won't be very good. The good news is that you won't have very many listeners either. I agree that my part of the early podcast was not that good. It took me a while to get comfortable in front of the microphone and hear my voice in a recording. I'm so grateful to Bob Lonac, Jim Lowschieder, Holly Moore, Christine Talbot, David Dockery, and the other early guests who endeared my learning curve. I'm also grateful to Bob Tiede and his blog Leading with Questions.  Bob has taught me so much about asking good interview questions. I do think the quality has improved a little.  Hardly a week goes by that I don't receive an email from someone telling me how much they enjoyed a recent episode. Although our target audience is NextGen Leaders, I'm continually amazed at how many seasoned Board Chairs and CEOs tell me that they're regular listeners. So, thank you, both guests and listeners, for helping us make it to Episode 100. I'm looking forward to next week.

In this episode, you will hear from five of our previous guests sharing their thoughts on what goes into a great hiring decision.   My hope is that you will digest what you hear, contextualize this around your own team and gifts and abilities, and come up with something that works for you.  This episode also serves as a great introduction to our podcast for those you may know who are involved in the hiring process at their respective companies.  Be sure to share it with them as I'm confident they will find many of the talking points very insightful.

If you haven't made mistakes—some more costly than others—then you are not human.  We've all made mistakes and would all like a second chance. Because I believe second chances are so important, this is one of the questions I frequently ask our guests on our Next Gen Nonprofit Leadership with Tommy Thomas podcast.   I usually frame the question like this: “What would go into your decision about giving an employee who had clearly done something wrong or inappropriate a second chance?” In this episode, we explore how some of our guests responded to this question and we reflect on the life and leadership lessons we've learned from them along the way.  After all, these guests have been there and done that, and—as the saying goes—have the t-shirt to prove it. This episode is a great introductory episode to share with the nonprofit board members you know as it introduces a variety of guests and will hopefully inspire them to further explore these guests in their featured episodes. We hope you enjoy these timeless reflections about second chances!   Time Stamps [0:13] – Tommy Thomas shares some quotes on second chances.

Our guest in this episode of the podcast is a dear friend of mine, Holly Moore! I met Holly via one of her early mentors, Fred Smith, and our first meeting (if I remember correctly) was in early 2006. Holly has had an amazing career, having gotten a nursing degree and working in healthcare before rising to Vice President of a large healthcare company where she had a lot of responsibilities and an incredibly large staff to oversee. She then felt a call to ministry and worked with Mercy Ships, Growing Leaders, and then Hollis Strategies. Holly talks on the podcast about some formative events from her childhood such as finding faith in God at a very young age and her father developing addiction to alcohol and prescription pain medications, the latter a hardship that she credits for making her resilient and empathetic. She reflects back on her time in healthcare and how she felt when she first became a Vice President. Being one of the youngest and one of the only female Vice Presidents in her company was major, and she was fearful, but she remained courageous and brave which only worked to her benefit! Holly also gives advice to people who lead younger people such as millennials. She reveals what characteristics and traits she looks for in a new hire and how she would handle a situation in which an employee has done something wrong. She credits her ability to invest in and maintain relationships (not just with family members but also with friendships), and she even shares what she wishes someone would have told her when she first started out. I had such a great time talking with Holly on this episode of the podcast! She had some really sage insight that stems from her many years of experience – insight about so many things when it comes to the world of leadership, and I am very grateful for her time!

Founder and MD, Holly Moore, from Make Events joined our podcast host, James Dickson, on this week’s episode to discuss the role of women in the event industry as well as her personal journey.  Make Events is a corporate event agency based in Cheshire that revolves around creating the “ultimate experience” for top brands including Garmin, Myprotein and Twitter. Last February, Holly ran an event for her staff. She believes that the best way to drive a message home is through a live event and so she put this into practice for her own team which served as the delegates to the two-day conference.  This event allowed Holly to communicate the agency’s strategy for 2019 as well as remind the team of Make Events’ core values. “The event was two-pronged: to drive the message of Make Events forward for the financial year and to give them [her team] the experience of an event that they loved so that they could sell it to clients,” Holly said. She stressed that the devil is in the detail when it comes to planning. During her event, delegates (her team members) were presented with their favourite beverages and snacks while their favourite quotes were written on their bedroom mirrors.  Holly also wove research into the event and ensured all sessions were no more than 22 minutes. This has been proven to be the length of time an audience’s attention is captivated, so any content beyond this point of time is more likely to be wasted. “Everyone’s attention span is so much shorter than what it used to be. If you leave more time for Q&A, the sessions become much more authentic.” If you would like to feature on a podcast episode, please email molly@eventindustrynews.com.
