Leadership as a passionate expression.

The essence of leadership is passion, and there are many forms of exemplary leadership, just as there are many causes in which we can invest our passions. The chair of the board of regents of the University of the Pacific describes her passion for the mission of the university, which includes "preparing students...for responsible leadership in their careers and communities." She also describes the passionate leadership of the dental school dean, Arthur A. Dugoni, and of three graduates of the school.
