#16 Todd Voss on goals, switches, and idealism
<p>Dr. Todd Voss is the President of Southern Wesleyan University.</p> <p>Here’s what I love about Todd Voss.</p> <p>For this podcast I went to the Southern Wesleyan University website thinking I would find a really impressive BIO of Dr. Voss listing all of his academic achievements. The impact he’s at at Southern Wesleyan as President. The achievements. The buildings built. The money raised.</p> <p>And I couldn’t find it. I am pretty sure it does not exist.</p> <p>This guy is a quite, unassuming leader.</p> <p>When I first met Dr. Todd Voss he was the vice president for Student Development at Indiana Wesleyan University. I was an 18 year old freshman.</p> <p>Voss was incredibly student focused. He was driven. Always focused on both qualitative and quantitative growth.</p> <p>At one time I asked him to formally mentor me -- and for almost two years we had lunch every Thursday.</p> <p>He would later serve as Executive Vice President at IWU and we remained friends. After he left for Southern Wesleyan, we lost touch a bit.</p> <p>Two years ago, as I was going through a personal dark night of the soul, I reached back out to him. And after years of not talking he was incredibly gracious with his time and really leaned in and was a great help to me.</p> <p><strong>Some things that got my attention....</strong></p> <p><strong>"My plans are not necessarily God's plans."</strong></p> <p><strong>Having multiple things going at the same time and you never know which one is going to click.</strong></p> <p><strong>He's not big on timelines or deadlines on goals. This is contrary to so much you read and hear from goal driven people. I found Dr. Voss' perspective on this very interesting.</strong></p> <p><strong>Talked about how colleges are destroying ideas by being worried about getting students to pass math. Students turn into realists. Voss wants to encourage idealism and thinking big.</strong></p> <p><strong>Celebrate conflict and the negative outcome of decisions you have made. They are the best ways to learn.</strong></p>
