On the way to speak to a gathering of CEOs in Michigan, I had the opportunity to tour Notre Dame University campus with an exceptional tour guide who shared its history. Wow! The grounds and Gothic architecture are beautiful, and they have a spectacular history reaching back to the mid 1800s. Too bad their Fighting Irish football team wasn’t playing when I was there! This campus is massive, and students can easily get – or feel – lost among the thousands of people who attend, so even more impressive is how this faith-based campus builds a tight community of support for their students, in a different way than many institutions and universities. There are no sororities or fraternities. Rather, community is built around the residences where students live, for at least the first three years of their stay. A tight feeling of belonging to their tribe is encouraged – they even dress up in the theme of their residence when going to events and games. And athletes are set up for success with mandatory, weekly tutoring sessions that are just part of the program and what everyone does. This is the kind of place I’d like my children to attend. I was also impressed with how many things on campus were set up, by the founders, to endure for decades or centuries. And that kind of foresight continues today – the same that any CEO, with a great vision, needs to build an amazing organization. The visit to the campus really made me think about what systems or disciplines I am putting in place for enduring greatness and impact – what I can build to last. Here’s more about that long-term thinking…
