Texas State Senator Charles Perry joins The Leader Fast Lane to discuss what changed when he moved from running a CPA practice to serving in the Texas Legislature. He shares lessons on building consensus across differences, standing firm when compromise would weaken a solution, and making decisions whose effects may reach well beyond his own time in office.

Leslie Reed draws on three decades of public service—including five assignments as a USAID Mission Director—to explain why effective leadership begins with listening, trust, and a willingness to hear difficult feedback. She shares lessons from leading across cultures, developing leaders at every level, navigating complex organizations, and sustaining communication and community during the extraordinarily difficult final months of USAID. 

In this episode, I speak with Will Rodriguez, Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, as he shares how lessons from the Marine Corps, manufacturing, healthcare, and higher education shaped his approach to servant leadership, adaptability, and data-informed decision-making.

James Mauldin, Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer for the Texas Tech University System, shares leadership lessons drawn from a career spanning corporate operations, municipal government, aviation, higher education, and the Navy Reserves.

A former colleague Ryan Walther joins The Leader Fast Lane to share lessons from two decades of international development work across countries, cultures, and functions. Drawing on his leadership at USAID, Ryan explores how leaders can pursue demanding results while investing in people, remain steady amid uncertainty, build trust across cultural and professional boundaries, and combine evidence with sound judgment. 

In this episode of The Leader Fast Lane, Texas Tech University System Chancellor Emeritus Dr. Tedd Mitchell reflects on a leadership journey spanning medicine, business, higher education, and public service.

Retired U.S. Ambassador Art Brown joins The Leader Fast Lane to share lessons from a 34-year public-service career that took him from Peace Corps volunteer in Benin to USAID Mission Director and U.S. Ambassador.

In this episode of The Leader Fast Lane, Dr. Rick Lange, founding president of Texas Tech Health El Paso, shares lessons from building a university, leading through failure, and creating a culture of excellence from the ground up. We explore why the best leaders embrace humility, build trust, develop great teams, and practice servant leadership—offering practical insights that leaders in any field can apply immediately.

Namatai Kwekweza has endured arrest, intimidation, and imprisonment for standing up for democracy and human rights in Zimbabwe. Yet her leadership lessons extend far beyond activism, offering powerful insights on courage, community, reading, and developing the inner resilience needed to lead through uncertainty. This conversation is a compelling reminder that extraordinary leadership begins with ordinary people who choose to keep moving forward despite fear. 

What does it take to lead one of the nation's premier academic health institutions?

In this episode, I talk with Billy Breedlove, Vice Chancellor for Facilities Planning & Construction at the Texas Tech University System, to explore the leadership principles that have shaped his 35-year career.

• Leadership is never about yourself—it's about the mission and the people entrusted to you.
• Humility means taking responsibility when things go wrong and giving credit when they go right.
• Kindness and high standards are not opposites—they reinforce one another.
• Optimism isn't wishful thinking; it's a leader's responsibility during uncertainty.

In this episode of Leader Fast Lane, I sit down with Texas Tech University President Lawrence Schovanec for a candid conversation about leadership in one of higher education's most complex environments. Drawing on more than four decades at Texas Tech—as professor, dean, provost, and president—Dr. Schovanec shares practical insights on making difficult decisions, leading through uncertainty, balancing competing stakeholder interests, and keeping an institution focused on its mission. The conversation explores the importance of humility, empathy, strategic thinking, and maintaining hope during times of significant change, offering leadership lessons that apply well beyond higher education.
