It has been nearly three years since Dr. Eugene L. Moore, MBA, published his sixth book titled The Business in You: Unleashing the Entrepreneur, that provided tangible skills that an aspiring or existing business owner can use to assess their business idea or current model. The global pandemic has created and exposed many disparities; however, it has equally caused many individuals to reach into the depths of their creative prowess to build a successful business. I and society, have equally seen people utilize the gig economy to earn additional income to support their families. Whether they aligned with DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, Instacart, or another company; they quickly realized some components of entrepreneurship. In fact, there have been many stories throughout the pandemic where individuals started in a gig job that later morphed into a creation of a new business. According to the Census Bureau, more than 4.4 million new businesses were created in 2020. These realities, coupled with a more than 20-year history in the business sector and higher education, inspired his latest book, titled The Language of Leaders: A Roadmap Toward Excellence. While starting a business is inherently challenging, it can also be difficult leading a group of individuals in a work environment. Thus, Dr. Moore wanted to lend his expertise around what it means to be an effective leader, and to expand his leadership, he obtained certifications from the University of South Florida-Muma School of Business and the prestigious Harvard University. These certifications provided him with the skills needed to secure diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace coupled with utilizing business strategy to solve complex problems. As a transformational leader, Dr. Moore is committed to move diversity beyond tolerance and compliance. He believes in order for diversity to be sustainable it needs to have a P.U.L.S.E. (People Uniting Long-term to Strengthen Everyone). When a leader applies this level of commitment, it will foster true diversity and enhance their leadership, learning, and legacy.He firmly believes leaders are keenly receptive to learning and spend a great deal of time reading relevant materials and listening to other experts. He believes a great leader is always asking themselves and others, "How do we strategically and proactively prepare ourselves for things that have not yet transpired and what can we do to improve our ability to effectively lead others?" One of the biggest mistakes people make is believing leadership is a top-down ideology. While it is widely known that Jeff Bezos is the founder of Amazon, it should not be assumed that his innovative genius and leadership abilities are the sole rationale for how and why the company has been afforded such an enormity of success because such an assumption would be far-reaching. Dr. Moore has been quoted saying, "You do not have to hold a leadership position to be a leader, but you can lead wherever you find yourself in the organization by finding a solution to a problem." Effective leaders foster an environment where everyone believes that they can contribute to the growth and development of the company. Companies like Google or Microsoft cannot have sustainability if they are only relying on the innovative genius of their leaders. They must hire and retain talented individuals who inherently understand that leadership is not solely housed in the C-Suite. In addition to working for the University of Illinois, he serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Assurance Creek Youth Program, Inc. and as a consultant to various global business enterprises. His latest book serves as an example of his commitment to using his gifts, talents, and resources to help others. Dr. Moore firmly believes that while education is knowledge, wisdom is power and if you desire for that power to have a compounded effect you must share it with as many people as possible.
