From the Chair: Some Last Thoughts on Leadership, Tradition and Change

Abstract

My daughter’s high school recently did a wonderful production of the classic musical, Fiddler on the Roof. It’s a timeless message of a father’s love and devotion for his daughters in the midst of incredible cultural and political change. I’ve seen this musical many times in my life, but I was struck afresh with the incredible tension Tevye felt as a father between “what was expected” and the future happiness of his daughters.
