| | | | About the Leader | | | Harry Williams | President and CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund | Achiever® | Learner® | Responsibility® | Focus® | Self-Assurance® | | | | | | Harry L. Williams, Ph.D., is president and CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), the nation's largest organization exclusively representing the Black college community. He oversees TMCF's 53 member schools — publicly supported Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions — serving 80% of HBCU students. Under his leadership, TMCF's revenue has grown over 250%. | | “Leaders move in a direction that is going to move the organization forward.” | | | Williams emphasizes that great leaders aren't afraid to take risks. They embrace risk as a catalyst for growth and transformation. True leadership, he notes, requires the courage to step into uncertainty to drive meaningful change. | | | | | “I saw the impact senior leaders were having on the students that I wanted to serve.” | | | Early in his career, Williams envisioned himself leading an HBCU and turned that dream into a road map for success. By combining his Focus with the drive of an Achiever, he exemplifies how great leaders transform ambition into action that creates long-term achievement. | | | | | “Lay out the vision so everyone can understand why we're doing certain things.” | | | Effective leaders know that clarity and consistency are key to inspiring action. Williams highlights how communicating with a laser focus on goals and outcomes helps to align teams, reinforce the vision and push for progress. | | | | | Leading With Strengths is available wherever you get your podcasts. | | | | | Explore More Interviews |  | | Leslie Motter
