| | | | About the Leader | | | Gordon Gee | President, West Virginia University | Intellection® | Learner® | Achiever® | Arranger® | Woo® | | | | | | “There are three ingredients in terms of strengths for your success: You need to have a very thick skin in today's world, you need to have a good sense of humor and you need to be able to look forward.” | Woo | | “I just want to see people in their place.” | | | Gee goes to where his students are. From attending their birthday parties to inviting them out for a slice of pizza, Gee always finds ways to surround himself with the people he serves. Lively social interaction, especially with his constituents, energizes him. | | | | Learner | | “I can see pathways for hope.” | | | Gee uses his Learner to create hope for his constituents. He knows that the more he learns — the more he reads and converses with people — the more solutions and hope he will find. He absorbs information and creates tangible opportunities, like the creation of a renowned university hospital system. | | | | Intellection | | “I read all the time.” | | | In his effort to be well informed and positively influence the students at his university, Gee reads incessantly. He consumes four to five newspapers a day along with a steady diet of books — both serious and lighthearted — which further stoke one of his primary driving forces: curiosity. | | | | Arranger | | “I want to get things done, and I want to get them done fast.” | | | When it comes to making decisions and taking action, Gee believes in speed. He says that given the chance, “the perfect squeezes out the good,” which is unacceptable to him. His Arranger talent leads him to see the large-scale harm slow decision-making has on organizations, so he prefers rapidity over painstaking deliberation. | | | | | Hear more about how Gordon Gee leads with strengths on Leading With Strengths wherever you listen to podcasts. | | | | | Explore More Leaders | | | | | | |
