| | | | About the Leader | | | Marlene Tromp | President of the University of Vermont | Learner® | Achiever® | Strategic® | Ideation® | Input® | | | | | | Marlene Tromp is the 28th president of the University of Vermont. She brings to UVM an outstanding record of leadership at public universities. Her presidency begins as UVM is in the wake of record-breaking research and student outcomes and is poised to build on its tradition of excellence as Vermont's flagship comprehensive research university and land-grant institution. She leads with a commitment to providing a world-class educational experience for students and elevating UVM's broad research enterprise. | | “The courage to step forward and to not be afraid to go toward conflict is critical.” | | | For Tromp, courage is not about confrontation but about conviction. She believes that most people act with good intent and that strong leadership begins when we approach conflict not as something harmful to avoid, but as an opportunity to understand others more deeply. | | | | | “I am so devoted to the notion that everyone deserves a fair chance.” | | | The best leaders, Tromp believes, look beyond differences to recognize potential. Guided by her belief that every person deserves to be understood and valued, she leads with a commitment to fairness. | | | | | “I don't think there's a greater job in the world than helping people change their lives so they can change the world.” | | | Tromp is committed to helping people live their best lives. She sees her role as university president as a way to do that, and it makes the world's challenges and problems feel surmountable. | | | | | “We make better decisions when we listen.” | | | For Tromp, listening isn't passive. It's an act of leadership. She believes that understanding requires curiosity, not control. In her view, great leaders don't rush to be right. They seek to learn. When leaders listen deeply — to colleagues, critics and communities — they reveal new insights; bridge divides; and make wiser, more human decisions. | | | | | Leading With Strengths is available wherever you get your podcasts. | | | | | Explore More Interviews |  | | Arthur Brooks
