Lee University’s Dr. Hermilo Jasso presented at the International Leadership Conference sponsored by the John Maxwell Team of Paraguay.
The conference was attended by over 150 participants from different levels of the business world including more than 20 middle and upper-level managers from Bank Itaú, the largest financial conglomerate in Latin America.
Dr. Jasso’s presentation, titled “Leadership in the 21st Century,” addressed numerous topics that could help conference attendees develop their own leadership skills. These topics included approaching power and influence, inspiring loyalty and effort in teams, leading people successfully through change, building dynamic team cohesiveness, analyzing the relationship between leader characteristics and leader performance, and developing leadership values.
As a result of his presentation at the conference, Dr. Jasso was also invited to teach a class in international business negotiation strategies at Universidad Católica, the premier private university in Paraguay.
“The John Maxwell Foundation has started a national program of transformation of leaders in Paraguay, and it has been an honor to be part of this endeavor,” said Dr. Jasso.
Dr. Jasso, an associate professor of business and economics, joined Lee's faculty in 1987 after a successful stint in the business world. Prior to his arrival at Lee, he worked as a stock broker for Merrill Lynch and as a financial analyst for Metropolitan Life.
He was the first recipient of the Janet Rahamut Faculty Award, given in recognition to the faculty member that exhibits the most heart for students evidenced by frequent interaction and positive involvement with them outside of the classroom. He has been a guest lecturer at multiple universities in South America as well as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, a U.S. Department of Defense Institution.
