The following is a conversation between Father Edward "Monk" Malloy, the author of People First: Reflections on Leadership, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving.

Father Edward "Monk" Malloy is President Emeritus of the University of Notre Dame, where he served as president from 1987 to 2005. He's the author of many books, including People First: Reflections on Leadership, a book that distills a wealth of leadership wisdom gleaned from his extensive career in education and community service.

Father Malloy has served on 32 separate boards, each offering its own unique challenges and lessons. These experiences have enriched his understanding and shaped his distinct perspectives on leadership, which he generously shares in this book.
