To Julia Macias at Washington University in St. Louis, "leading is not about formal position.”

"Everyone," she said, "regardless of formal status, has the potential to influence and energize others towards a common goal.” 

On this episode of Invented Here, Macias explores that concept in discussing the origins of Washington University’s George and Carol Bauer Leaders Academy, where she is the director of student leader development. She shares how her program is scaling up to help all students have integrated and immersive opportunities and become purpose-driven leaders of character and capability.
