Kim b clark biography of donald

I count it a great blessing and a privilege to speak today at this university conference. I love to come to this campus.

Before I begin my formal remarks, inom am going to tell you a little story about why I feel so strongly about this place. It is not only because as a student here for a year after my uppdrag I found my professional calling to be a teacher and a scholar at the feet of truly, truly inspiring teachers like Larry T. Wimmer and others, but it is also because inom met Sue here.

I want to tell you this little story about why I get a chill that just covers me when inom walk on this campus. I had met Sue, and we were in the same family home evening group. We went for a walk one night, and I had the very distinct impression from the Spirit: “This is your ­eternal companion.” Fortunately, she had the same feeling.

Just a couple of days later inom was walking along a diagonal trottoar toward where in those days the sidewalks met in a big X, rig

All Things Which are Good Cometh of Christ

I am grateful to speak to you today on another great day at BYU-Idaho.  I pray that the Holy Spirit will be with us as I share with you things I have learned from the devotional talks I have given during my service at BYU-Idaho.  My focus is on four themes from those talks I feel are especially important and relevant today: 1) the redeeming and strengthening power of the Atonement of Christ; 2) acting with faith in Christ; 3) obedience of the heart and soul; and 4) the eternal family.

There were things in his life he should have cleared up with his bishop at home, but had not.  And so, he turned and headed to the president's office.  In that moment the young missionary began a journey of repentance, humility, and hope.

Nate’s Notes 164: Kim B. Clark Former Dean of Harvard Business School and President of BYU—Idaho | Leaders Increase Light

Thanks for listening to this episode of Meikles & Dimes. Kim’s interview was packed with insight:

First, we’re all leaders. And the best leaders lead in 3 ways: they help people experience meaning, purpose, and personal growth. They help the organization realize its purpose. And they strengthen the organization.

Or in other words, leaders always do good.

And what a great story Kim shared about his colleague who had been a kind of poison in the organization. The previous administration had been afraid to fire the colleague for fear of a lawsuit with the Union. But when Kim became dean, he knew it was the right thing to do. It would increase light and decrease darkness. And when he finally did fire the person, the Union said, “What took you so long?”

In summary, strive to increase light and decrease darkness.

 It’s a simple idea. Please take it seri
