About this author

edit data

After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Illinois, I spent three years as a Peace Corps teacher in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Upon my return to the US, I earned as masters in management from Case Western Reserve University. I spent the next ten years working as a nonprofit and public executive. Since the mid 1980s, I have been on my own - consulting, writing and speaking (http://www.dougeadie.com).

Virginia lost her eyesight while working as an executive at Purdue University....more

Addis Ababa Homecoming, Part 3 Remembering Tafari Makonnen School

Former TMS Main Entrance

TMS 11th Grade English Class

I’d loved teaching at Tafari Makonnen School, so it was a must stop during my visit to Addis Ababa last May.

Meeting The Governing Challenge (Business & Investing)

1 chapters — updated Dec 16, 2011 12:43pm

Description: “Meeting the Governing Challenge” provides the reader with hands-on, tested guidance for building the kind of nonprofit board leadership that makes a real difference. Author Doug Eadie describes the key components of his High-Impact Governing Model, using many real-life examples: a “board-savvy” chief executive who actively promotes strong board leadership; meaningful, proactive board involvement in doing high-impact governing work in the areas of planning, performance monitoring, and external relations; a well-designed board committee structure; and strong executive support for the board.

The Blind Visionary: Practical Lessons for Meeting Challenges on the Way to a More Fulfilling Life and Career (Health, Mind & Body)

1 chapters — updated Apr 07, 2010 01:55am

Description: My new book, "The Blind Visionary," tells the amazing true story of my co-author, Virginia Jacko, who lost her eyesight while serving as a senior financial executive at Purdue University. She started all over, enrolling as a vocational rehabilitation student at the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind. Only four years later, she became president and CEO of the Lighthouse, a position she now holds. She is one of only a handful of blind CEOs in the United States.
