In my last conversation with Bill before he left for Madagascar, we were chatting about life. At the end of what I thought was a normal conversation, he went on to describe how our talk exemplified a communication strategy. Ever the teacher.
Bill's strengths in communication and leadership development show a rare type of brilliance. To understand the human condition, how people work, how to engage
them - this is not the creation of new algorithms. Bill's work relates to all aspects of life and this is what makes it invaluable.
I wish this blog did not have reason to exist. However, let us come together to heartily celebrate Bill’s life... Our prayers are with his family, in whom Bill’s grace is very much alive.

The thing I remember most about Bill was his kindness. He always took time to help his students - with advice about leadership or communications or any other topic.
ReplyDeleteIn several instances, I watched him give difficult feedback with grace and skill. He always considered his audience and gave them neither too much or too little than they could handle.
We were blessed to have him in our lives, and he greatly enriched the Haas community.
