How Virtual Leadership is changing the Game | Gary Myers | TEDxKentState

Gary seeks to bridge the divide between leadership and authentic social connections.  Offering a fresh take on leadership, this talk discusses the results of utilizing a virtual leadership development curriculum. Through funding from Kent State’s Division of Student Affairs, an 8-week pilot of the leadership academy program was launched in October 2016. The program’s first graduates celebrated completion of the curriculum in December.

For the past 10 years, Gary Myers has sought to change the leadership training landscape by using virtual leadership development as a tool to facilitate group cohesiveness. His background in team dynamics, group processes, and digital systems training technology has enabled him to create the nation’s first online, virtual leadership academy. Myers is a doctoral candidate in Social Psychology at Kent State University and a recipient of the Graduate Dean’s Award. As a graduate assistant, he teaches Juvenile Delinquency in the Sociology department. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Georgia and a Master of Arts in Sociology from Northern Illinois University.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
