Educational leadership: Dreams and Possibilities.
Dr. Linda Wesson's philosophy on educational leadership comes from a greeting card. "As you think, you travel. As you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you ... no more, no less."
Wesson, who recently stepped down as department chair, keynoted the Women in Educational Leadership Conference in Lincoln NE in October.
She has been in education for 42 years, most recently in the department of educational leadership at the University of Memphis TN. She's a transitional leader who leaves places different than she found them.

Career is one of cycles
Starting as a K-12 teacher, Wesson became a reading supervisor and principal in minority schools. Her career was that of a practitioner.
Wesson was recruited to be department chair at Memphis as an associate professor with no writing at all on her vita. She had earned a master's degree there and had taught in the Memphis school system for many years, writing her dissertation on African-American males in the Memphis public schools.
