Pre-Conference Speaker

Dan Tillemans
Facilitator, Cornell University Team and Leadership Center
Former Director of Cornell University Outdoor Education

The Leadership Wheel- Developing Personal Growth, High Performance Teamwork, and Empowering Leadership, From The Inside Out.

Dan Tillemans, served as Director of Cornell University Outdoor Education for 15 years, developing COE as one of the foremost university-based outdoor education programs in the country. “Teamwork, Leadership, and Growth through Outdoor Experience” became the program mission, and today 150 student and staff leaders provide 55,000 participant-program-days annually. In 1997 Dan founded the Cornell University Team and Leadership Center, to provide teamwork and leadership development programs for a more diverse audience, now providing 5,000 participant-program-days. After Dan retired from full time work a group of alumni endowed the Cornell Team and Leadership Center Director position and named it in honor of Dan’s contributions. Today, Dan Tillemans continues to facilitate numerous teamwork and leadership development programs part-time for students and staff at Cornell University and beyond.

The Leadership Wheel: Dan has worked closely with Clint Sidle, Director of the Park Leadership Fellows Program at Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management, to develop and apply a model that Clint has titled “The Leadership Wheel”. The two met in 1990 when Clint joined the Cornell Outdoor Education Advisory Board, have remained close friends, and have co-led numerous programs ever since.

The lesson of the Leadership Wheel is to draw equally from all four directions (the same four directions inherent in modern Jungian personality-type work) in order to develop a fifth archetype, the Sage. It is the ability to utilize all of the directions, at the right time, and in the right place, that is the important concept to embrace. In this model personal growth replaces self-interest as the motivating force.

Material for this workshop will be taken from Clint Sidle’s book: The Leadership Wheel: Five Steps for Achieving Individual and Organizational Greatness, available from Amazon.com. Over 20 self-guided exercises are available in this book.

For those interested in exploring your own personality preferences before this workshop a 30 minute questionnaire is available for $5 at www.personalitypage.com
