On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a book panel discussion of Erwin Dekker's book, Jan Tinbergen (1903-1994) and the Rise of Economic Expertise. In it, Dekker argues that Tinbergen's crucial contribution is the theory of economic policy and the legitimation of economic expertise in service of the state. It traces his youthful socialist ideals which found political direction in the Plan-socialist movement of the 1930s for which he developed new economic models to combat the Great Depression. The book then turns to an examination of his attempt to repeat this achievement in the development projects in the Global South and at the international level for the United Nations. Peter Boettke moderates the book panel, with contributions from panelists: Sandra Peart, Dean of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of RichmondMichele Alacevich, Associate Professor of Economic History and the History of Economic Thought at Bologna UniversityIf you like the show, please leave a 5-star review for us on Apple Podcasts and tell others about the show!

In today's episode, our topic is leadership development in honor of our mentor Howard T. Prince II, a pioneer in leadership education, who passed away last year. We reflect on Howard's life and contribution to our understanding of leadership. We talk about three myths that Howard disrupted, about his life in the army and in academia, and what a great person he was to know. Howard was a leader who created thousands of other leaders—a light to many candles. He is deeply missed. Episode Highlights The crucial difference between experience, reflection, and wisdom Building better organizations Leaving a personal legacy Timestamps [04:00] Understanding the tragedy of psychology [10:25] Howard's contribution to integrating women into the US Military Academy [23:54] Three important leadership skills—Intelligence (IQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Interpersonal Communication Skills [28:49] 3 myths about leadership [32:16] Transforming toxic organizations into ethical ones [41:48] How Howard got woke in 1970 Standout Quotes from the Episode: "The tragedy of psychology is that people want to change. But they don't reflect enough on the limitations between what they're doing and what they want in order to know how to change. Without reflection, you can't convert experience into wisdom. Without wisdom, you're going to be the same person day in and day out, year in year out.” "When somebody is yelling at you, the only thing you want is to make it end. You'll do anything to make it end, but you're not learning. You're just trying to extinguish whatever that threat is." “It's ethics if it hurts.” - Howard Prince About Howard T. Prince, II: Howard Prince was a 1962 Honor Graduate of West Point who served with distinction as an infantry officer in Vietnam. After sustaining grievous wounds during the battle of Hue, Howard rehabilitated at Walter Reed, and then completed a doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Howard was assigned as the cadet psychologist at West Point and was then promoted to be the founding department head of West Point's Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership. In 1990, Howard retired from the Army (and was advanced on the retirement roles to Brigadier General) and became the founding dean of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond (in Virginia). In 2001, Howard “retired” to Texas, where he was promptly installed as the Director of the Center for Ethical Leadership in the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. He was given West Point's highest alumni honor, the Distinguished Graduate Award, in 2006. Episode Resources: Prince, H.T., Tumlin, G.R., and Stacey L.

And people started talking about us and saying we didn't belong there. And literally, a woman hit me with her umbrella and told me to move and get off. And I did not do it.""The first day they said the lunch counters were integrated in Birmingham (unbeknownst to my parents) I decided, I'm going to sit down at the lunch counter.""Georgia Sorenson and I were at the Kellogg Leadership Studies project and we were all talking about leadership with James McGregor Burns, and all the other scholars, and people were arguing about the leader and what the role of the leader is, and on and on... Georgia and I looked at each other and said, 'we're kind of sick of this argument. We're all focused on the leader. What about, what about everybody else? What about people being inspired because they really believe in what they're doing?'
