Organizational Expert Speaks at LeTourneau

LONGVIEW — LeTourneau University’s School of Business is hosting organizational leadership expert Dr. Jim Laub as keynote speaker for its second annual “Business through the Eyes of Faith” initiative, which hosts a free public forum on the application of biblical principles in the workplace. The public is invited to hear Laub speak to students, faculty, and staff about servant leadership from a Christian perspective at 3:30 p.m. Monday in the Education Building Lecture Hall, Room 117-120 on the Longview campus, 2100 South Mobberly Avenue.

Laub will also speak about “Building Healthy Organizations” during a free event at the same location from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. He will share key aspects that he says business leaders need to consider to develop healthy organizations, reduce turnover, provide sustainable growth, and have a positive effect on an organization’s bottom line. He will discuss why some organizations are strong and thriving while others are weak or even toxic places to work. Laub remarks that a healthy organization is one that fulfills its mission while strengthening its employees. He says it develops people while increasing its capacity for change and new vision.
