Mission and Vision
It is the mission of the Ziglar Center
to be an academic center of excellence for the study and practice of ethical
leadership. In so doing, we honor the life and legacy of Zig Ziglar with the
vision of developing a cadre of world-changing leaders who think with clarity, act
with integrity, and serve with purpose. The center seeks to serve four key
constituencies - students, professionals, businesses and “not-for-profit”
organizations.
Undergraduate Students
At Southern Nazarene University learning faith-based life skills begins in the
freshman year of college and continues throughout the undergraduate years until
graduation. During this span of time, young men and women will be introduced to
a variety of principles, practices and life-skills to equip them for a bright
future.
Professionals, Businesses and Not-for-Profit
Organizations
Zig Ziglar has long been a proponent of life-long learning. The Ziglar Center
will also focus upon that commitment in providing business leaders and corporations
with educational services that train leaders and assess current business
practices.
The vision of ethical leadership changing the way we live, work and care for
one another may have its greatest impact in the world of charitable
organizations, faith-based initiatives and churches—the helping organizations.
The Ziglar Center will offer its services to
provide leadership training, resourcing and assessment to these often
over-worked and under-supported organizations. A cadre of full-time professors
as well as select lecturers will provide:
- Training Seminars
- Leadership Development
- Business Ethics Plan Development and Implementation
- Executive Coaching
- Goal Setting and Strategic Plan execution
- Equipping leaders with tools for global philanthropy (AIDS, poverty)
- On-site assessment of systems and human resource ethics plans and practices
