Sharon Dunn Interview

Today, Steve Anderson, PT, DPT, sits down with APTA president Sharon Dunn, PhD, PT, OCS. Sharon is an associate professor at Louisiana State University Shreveport’s School of Allied Health Professions, where she specializes in teaching Orthopaedic Physical Therapy and Biomechanics.

Sharon earned her BS in Physical Therapy, Master’s in Health Sciences and PhD in the department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy, all from the Louisiana State University Shreveport’s School of Allied Health Professions.

In today’s video, Steve and Sharon discuss:

• When you serve and serve well, you’ll be invited to serve more in a leadership capacity.
• You don’t lead by position or power, you lead by putting people in their sweet spot for them to excel.
• Listening is an underappreciated leadership skill.
• Attend to the highest priority, not the hottest fire.
• Hone your leadership skills by failing.
• Tend to the “garden” every day instead of letting the weeds take root.
