Student Bio:
My name is Jack Corbin. I graduated from Florida State University in the spring of 2023 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I'm currently enrolled at Florida State University as a graduate student studying System Engineering. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, but have essentially lived in Crestview, Florida my whole life. I currently work for the Department of Defense on Eglin AFB and am highly interested in gaining more insight into system engineering principles that can be applied to the workplace. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing sports, and being outdoors. 

Poster Title: Tom Landry: The Man in the Hat
Abstract:
Tom Landry, the legendary coach of the Dallas Cowboys, displayed exceptional leadership qualities that reached far beyond the game of football. Born in Mission, Texas, Landry's innovative football mind, disciplined approach, and core values established him as one of the greatest leaders of men in the history of sports. During his nearly three-decade tenure with the Cowboys, Landry introduced many new strategies which included the 4-3 defensive scheme and the shotgun formation on offense. This had never been seen before, so it really transformed the game of football. Under his leadership, the Cowboys achieved 20 consecutive winning seasons and added two championships over that span. Landry's leadership style displayed a bit of democratic collaboration and visionary innovation. He was big on trusting his staff and players, which fostered an inclusive culture that empowered individuals to be their best selves. His ability to mentor people throughout the organization extended from just the gridiron which included future generations and players and coaches such as Dan Reeves. Large parts of Landry's success can be attributed to his alignment with the "Visionary Family" motivational archetype such as turning transformative ideas into reality to leave a lasting impact. His calm, ethical approach, as well as his strong Christian faith further show his reputation as a leader with a purpose. Landry's legacy serves as a blueprint for leadership, which demonstrate with the right values, vision, and purpose can lead to many years of success in sports and life.
