Most people think of leaders as being in positions of authority, such as the President of the University, the Provost, or Vice Presidents. A person’s official title is not what makes a leader; in fact, a leader is someone who recognizes issues and opportunities to innovate or improve their immediate environment, inspiring others, and using resources effectively. The Webster sprint process creates a platform for sharing ideas and inspiring others who care about the success of the University, its students and employees. So, why participate in sprints?
• Webster’s sprint process provides the opportunity to collaborate with one another and progressively move Webster into the future.
• Webster University uses sprints to encourage growth, not only for the University, but also for individuals, to demonstrate leadership.
• Webster sprints provide encouragement for all employees to make a positive impact from any location throughout the Webster community.
• Every employee from all levels of the University has unique skills, and resources and these sprints provide everyone an opportunity to utilize those skills and resources to speak up and take action.
