Finding Balance in Leadership

February 25, 2011

If you plan to attend the "Balance in Leadership" event please RSVP by visiting http://fbl2011.eventbrite.com.

Dan G. Tripps is an author and professor who has devoted his life's work to understanding the psychology of achievement and to helping individuals find greatness professionally and personally.

In his two recent books, In Search of Greatness: Attributes of Achievement and Lessons for Life (Town Books, 2002), and The Heart of Success: Conversations With Notable Achievers (BainBridgeBooks, 2001), Dr. Tripps helps readers place their life journeys in perspective. He believes that people need to embrace the notion that they do not become great simply because their achievements have been broadcast on television or reported in the local paper. Based on his personal interviews with 160 acclaimed performers, athletes, and intellectuals, Dr. Tripps identifies qualities that ordinary individuals can develop in order to achieve personal greatness.

Dr. Tripps is Executive Director of the American Institute of Sport and affiliated human performance laboratory, and Chair of Seattle University's Department of Sport Studies where he teaches the Psychology of Leadership and Achievement. He has also been a guest lecturer on university campuses throughout the United States and has served as a consultant to education, business, and government, providing training for senior level managers, nurturing organizational leadership, and enriching employee skills.
