3Q4 Steve Dickie
Q1. Why is Wichita a great place to “start up”?
“Start up” is in Wichita’s blood. Since its frontier beginnings and throughout its storied history, Wichita has always been a place to launch good ideas. Great people, affordable living, expanding cultural resources and lots of creative elbowroom provide everything we need to turn the world on its ear.
Q2. What gets you excited about the current entrepreneurial environment in Wichita?
When I first moved to Wichita from Los Angeles, I saw a community that wasn’t always enticing for young and emerging leaders to stick around. Not so much anymore. Young entrepreneurs are putting down roots and investing their creative energy in our city and we’re all the better for it. Wichita is a great place to be, but also a great place to become!
Q3. Give us a sneak peak to your closing remarks.
I'm so excited to speak on this topic! Success and significance in leadership begins with and is ultimately sustained by the ability to understand, challenge and manage self. In other words, the greatest investment any leader can make is to pay attention to who they are on the inside. Simply put, we're transformed from the inside out.
