No jerks and weenies is a very strong criteria.”In a leadership conversation that is often cluttered with science and pseudo-science, I find Siang’s vernacular refreshing. Sanyin Siang’s official title is Founding Executive Director, Duke’s Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics (COLE). It’s obvious that “team” provides the framework for how she encourages learning, leading, and “making things happen.” She is directing the Coach K Center, after all, and he is one of the perpetually great team builders in the team sport of college basketball. The Coach K Center was launched in 2004; Siang was its founding managing director. This, too, is a load that is lightened by an effective team and generous network, willing to spread the good word.
