Next Generation Leaders

How is leadership defined? Are true leaders born or made? What characterizes leadership success? Leadership is a major buzzword today and the topic of much interest and discussion among the emerging generation.

A native of Branson, Missouri, Zac Funderburk grew in his passion for leadership as an undergraduate student at DBU. His first thought like so many others was to consult all the best-published resources on the subject available. In a meeting with DBU President Dr. Adam Wright, however, a question posed back to him profoundly changed the trajectory of his thought process. The President said, "Zac, you study a lot of great leadership books and resources, but I would challenge you to study great leaders."
