Biography
Dr. Walter C. Wright, Jr., former president of Regent College, became the Executive Director of the Max De Pree Center for Leadership in 2000. In the early 1980s, Wright was a young administrator at Fuller when the seminary brought De Pree to speak at the school. Shortly thereafter, Wright became one of De Pree’s longtime mentees. Wright sought to learn De Pree’s leadership philosophy so that he could both apply and teach it. Wright distilled what he learned in his book Relational Leadership: A Biblical Model for Influence and Service. Under Wright’s leadership, the De Pree Center focused on further developing De Pree’s concept of relational leadership and exploring how beliefs shape the practice of both individuals and organizations.
