Spring 2007
HLP director speaks at Korean leadership
conference
Taking the Hart Leadership Program’s message and mission
to the international scene, HLP Director Alma Blount attended the
Sookmyung Global Leadership Institute (SMGLI) Global Leadership
Conference in May 2007. Held in Seoul, South Korea, the conference
was sponsored by Sookmyung, a women’s university focused on
developing leadership skills under the motto “gentle power
to change the world.”
The conference, “Leadership Power and Influence,” comprised
speeches and discussions delivered or led by several premier leadership
experts. Topics included how leaders are fostered in university
settings, where women fit into the world’s emerging leadership
scheme, and how leadership is connected to global management. Blount,
who was among a select group of female educators invited to the
conference, spoke about “Leadership Pedagogy.” In her
speech, she introduced HLP’s theoretical and practical underpinnings
to the conference audience.
SMGLI opened in October 2002 “with the purpose of nurturing
global women leaders to guide and transform the world with an enriched
view of servant leadership.” The goal of the 2007 conference
was to establish relationships among domestic and international
scholars to encourage enhanced collaboration and understanding of
21st-century leadership trends.
