Unleashing the Leader Within Featuring Wei Li Wong

Join Dr. Rick Arrowood and his co-host, Dr. Leslie Hitch, as they reconnect with their former student, Wei Li Wong. Originally hailing from Malaysia, Wei Li will share her personal and professional journey from being an international graduate student to achieving a lecturer position at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia.

Wei Li compares her journey and approach to leadership to a video game, recognizing that life consists of multiple levels that require continuous learning, acquiring new tools, and embracing more significant challenges. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging oneself and the individuals who contributed to their success, stating, "Nobody achieves success without understanding how they reached that point. It's crucial to recognize and appreciate those who have supported you along the way."

Dr. Hitch reflects on her ability to recognize Wei Li's potential, emphasizing the significance of seeking assistance from others. She believes that as faculty members, it is their responsibility to foster the growth of students, particularly those who possess curiosity, a desire to navigate through uncertainty and resilience to tackle complex tasks.
