Abstract
Years ago, the idea of "heart" being discussed with "leadership" would be laughable. In fact, to some, it may still be. However, according to Crowley (2011), "The heart is the driving force of human achievement" (p. 60). Moreover, one of the four commonalities of high performance organizations is "winning with the heart" (Miller, 2019). Thus, it is no laughing matter. If this philosophy is adopted at organizational and individual levels, teams would be happier, healthier, more engaged, and more productive. Consequently, the purpose of this presentation is to discuss the applicability of the concept of "leading from the heart" to academia. During this interactive presentation, attendees will (1) gain an understanding of the concept of leading from the heart; (2) learn techniques to lead from the heart and strengthen their leadership skills, regardless of position; and (3) demonstrate what they have learned through a scenario.
