Leadership and General Management
Leaders are rarely, if ever, born, and leadership is not a one-time event. It exists as a continuum in time, and its development is a process that takes time. At Fisher, we are dedicated to creating future global leaders that take advantage of and fulfill opportunities by honorable means.
We nurture these future leaders through our rich academic curriculum and leadership opportunities in the Fisher program, professional organizations and corporations, and the community at large. Known as advanced and innovative in their fields, with significant contributions to research and the development of leadership theory and practices, Fisher faculty set the standard of excellence in training future leaders who have outstanding personal and professional values, as well as well-defined ethical principles.

Getting to know Professor Wilk
What books are you reading right now?
I just finished “A Visit from the Goon Squad,” by Jennifer Egan which just won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Since I don’t have much time for fiction, I try to read acclaimed works such as the Pulitzer and Booker Prize winners. While I don’t always agree with the award committee’s assessment, this time I did. I am currently reading “The India Way” by Peter Cappelli.
What do you enjoy most about working at Fisher?
I love my colleagues and the students. There is a great mix of intellectual curiosity and collegiality which fosters a wonderful environment for learning.
What is your favorite thing to do or place to go in Columbus?
Anything involving food…the dessert boutique Pistacia Vera is always a favorite and I have been enjoying one of the city's newest restaurants Skillet lately. But coming from Philadelphia, Columbus needs more food trucks!
What is your favorite travel destination?
I enjoy visiting national parks and hiking with my family. I recently returned from a trip to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon in Utah.
