On this episode of Deans Counsel, moderators Ken Kring and Dave Ikenberry speak with Georgette Phillips, the Kevin L. and Lisa A. Clayton Dean of the College of Business at Lehigh University since June 2014. Her tenure comes to an end in June 2024.

Her research and teaching is focused on the intersection of law, economics and public policy within the context of the built environment. In this episode, she takes Ken and Dave through her considerable experience with change management -- one of the most difficult challenges a dean can face. Within this context, Georgette touches on a number of ideas and experiences, among them:

• Restoring power to the Dean’s office

• Shifting to a research culture

• Strategic Philanthropy

• The Second Term

• Key advice
