Bio
Dr. Tiffany Beaver, MBA, CRISC
Dr. Linville is an intrinsically motivated, highly intelligent, driven, customer-focused leader with an unsurped stamina matched only by his ability to simultaneously master multifaceted, capricious projects. He has achieved unparalleled success in both the business and academic domains. His expertise in Cross-Culture/Global Leadership triggered Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) to pursue his leadership for multiple doctoral-level academic overseas trips, becoming an essential and highly revered component of Global Leadership for IWU’s Doctorate Program. I would highly recommend Dr. Linville for any leadership role in need of a passionate and visionary servant leader who has an innate ability to empathically and actively listen, coalescing foresight and cultural awareness to elicit specific goals and an implementation strategy. His admirable resilience and humble stewardship accentuate his ability to succeed in any situation.
Dr. Don Osborne
Dr. Mike Linville facilitated the complex arrangements required for my doctoral class to visit Ukraine as part of our studies on global leadership. As I got to know Mike it became obvious that he is not only dedicated to Christian ministry to Russian speaking peoples, but he is a highly competent Leader-Manager that gets things done practically. He can actually apply his knowledge of global leadership issues as a result of his considerable experience. Were I looking to make contacts or engage in any endeavor in Eastern Europe or Russia, Dr. Mike Linville is the first person I would contact for assistance.
