Look what NYU Stern invited to to provide a fireside chat on leadership. http://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience...de-chat-with-karen-peetz-president-bny-mellon
Tell them what you think. http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/leadership-development/contact-us

http://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience...de-chat-with-karen-peetz-president-bny-mellon touts BNY President Karen Peetz as a leadership example. Ms. Peetz was a party to the following statement about Coach Joe Paterno in March 2012. http://giveto.psu.edu/s/1218/2014/i...id=15638&calpgid=61&pgid=252&ecid=3519&crid=0
While Coach Paterno did his legal duty by reporting that information the next day, Sunday, March 3, to his immediate superior, the then Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley, the Board reasonably inferred that he did not call police. We determined that his decision to do his minimum legal duty and not to do more to follow up constituted a failure of leadership by Coach Paterno.
The Board spent hours on conference calls between Saturday, Nov. 5, and Tuesday, Nov. 8, discussing appropriate action and our fiduciary responsibility as the Trustees. On Wednesday evening, Nov. 9, we met in person in State College. At about 9 pm, we unanimously made the difficult decision that Coach Paterno’s failure of leadership required his removal as football coach.
This, however, is what current Board Chairman Keith Masser said during a subsequent sworn deposition. http://onwardstate.com/2015/01/19/board-chairman-still-thinks-paterno-wasnt-fired/
When pressed for a reason why Paterno was let go, Masser said: “The decision to remove Coach Paterno had nothing to do with what he had known, what he hadn’t done. It was based upon the distraction of having him on the sidelines would have caused the university and the current football team harm. It had nothing to do with what Coach Paterno had done, or hadn’t done.”
If Paterno was fired for public relations reasons rather than anything he had or had not done, he was not fired for failure of leadership. There is also the issue of making derogatory remarks about a subordinate at a public meeting.
“KAREN PEETZ: I think our reaction is that the clarity that's come out of the report would show that 61 years of excellent service that Joe gave to the university is now marred. And we have to step back and say, what does that mean?”
Former President Graham Spanier is meanwhile suing Penn State for defamation and breach of its separation agreement with him. This is yet to be proven in a court of law, but most supervisors know better than to make derogatory remarks about subordinates in public. http://freehreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/1-Complaint-in-Spanier-v.-Freeh-and-Penn-State.pdf
Also on July 12, 2012 Board of Trustees members Kenneth Frazier and Karen Peetz held a press conference along with Penn State President Rodney Erickson in conjunction with the release of the Freeh Report. During that press conference, Penn State permitted Frazier and Peetz to make numerous negative statements about Dr. Spanier, including…
In response to a question about whether the Board felt misled by Dr. Spanier: “I would say that we feel concerned and misled in the entire situation. Though we’re taking responsibility… And so each of the individuals I would say have let us down significantly.” (Peetz)
(Frazier = Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, who directed a racial slur, “people that look like you,” to an alumnus during a subsequent public Board meeting.)
You might want to consider a speaker with a less controversial background. I would in fact recommend Colonel Larry Donnithorne, former President of Colorado Christian University and College of The Albemarle, and author of The West Point Way of Leadership. I have read the latter book and used it as a reference in my own writing. General William A. Cohen, author of The Stuff of Heroes, also comes to mind. http://www.wcspeakers.com/speaker.cfm?ID=3287
