ITHACA — The Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University has received a $10 million gift from alumnus John Smith, and his wife Dyan, to fund the family business initiative named after them.
John Smith, who graduated from Cornell in 1974 with an MBA, is chairman of CRST International of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a family-run business that is among the 10 largest U.S. freight-trucking firms, according to a Cornell news release.
The wish for family businesses of all kinds to be owned and operated by subsequent generations motivated the Smiths to make this $10 million donation, Cornell said.
“With the Smith’s generous gift, we can now put in place a systematic program to help prepare students for starting, scaling, and managing a family business,” Soumitra Dutta, dean of the Johnson School, said in the release. “The Smith Family Business Initiative will have a profound and lasting impact on family business and graduate business education at Johnson and Cornell.”
The Smith Family Business Initiative will be housed in Johnson’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute, and will fund three key additions to the institute:
· The John and Dyan Smith Professorship of Management and Family Business, who will serve as the initiative’s lead faculty member
· The Smith Family Clinical Professorship of Management, who will serve as director of the initiative
· The Smith Family Research, Program, and Faculty Support Fund, which will support a number of activities, including course offerings, student and alumni programming, marketing and outreach, presentations by visiting executive speakers, and faculty recruitment
“With a focus on family businesses at Johnson, good research will be conducted, educational seminars will address the unique needs of family businesses, and prospective students will be drawn to Johnson because of the family business expertise on campus,” John Smith said in the release.
Wesley Sine, the faculty director of Johnson’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute, is currently developing the Smith Family Business Initiative’s first two programs. One is a course that will focus on the benefits and challenges that are specific to family businesses. Two is the Smith Family Distinguished Family Business Lecture Series, which will bring executives from the world’s most successful family businesses to the Cornell campus.
The Smith’s son Ian, currently earning his MBA at the Johnson School, is among many students from family businesses, who have joined the school over the past several decades, according to Cornell. Ian, scheduled to graduate with his MBA in 2015, will likely graduate before the Smith Family Business Initiative is fully under way, but his parents say they already see how their son’s Cornell graduate education will help advance CRST International in the future. Ian Smith plans to join the board of the directors of the company immediately upon graduation, and immerse himself in learning all parts of the family trucking business, according to the Smiths.
“Ian has a very strong background in finance and strategy,” Dyan Smith said in the news release. “He likes to figure out the best way for the company and family to grow and change in the future.”
Cornell’s Johnson School offers five MBA programs, a Ph.D. program, and non-degree executive education. Johnson also offers programs across Latin America, Mexico, and China.

Getting to the table. We all want to be there. To have the opportunity to sit with senior management and be part of key discussions involving our organization, and to have our ideas heard. Better yet, we hope to have those ideas taken seriously enough to become part of the ultimate implementation plan. There is a real sense of pride that comes from seeing our ideas become part of an organization’s future.
So why is it that some of us seem to get to the table more often? Why are a few of us actually invited to the table repeatedly by decision makers, while others aren’t asked at all?
Although it sometimes feels like the loudest voices are the ones that get invited to the management table, that’s not really the case. Rather, senior leaders are usually looking for a sense of initiative that complements the best critical-thinking skills, which can support an organization. Those CEOs are looking for someone who has the curiosity and interest to learn in depth where the company is going, and then identify practical ways that can help it get there as quickly as possible. So, becoming the employee who follows through on ideas with initiative and measurable results, and who sees around corners to identify what may be coming next, positions you as the most valued member of any team.
Over the years, I have made some mistakes hiring individuals who I thought were really smart. Their résumés looked impressive, and they said all the right things during the interviews. However, in the end, they did not show that initiative that comes from a burning desire to problem-solve and to follow through on actionable items that add value. When I did find those people who were driven by initiative, I gladly gave them opportunity after opportunity to gain more responsibility and develop their leadership skills. They became people that I wanted to work with — that I looked up to based on their ability and commitment.
Want to get to the table? Show some curiosity and interest in your organization, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the top executives are headed. They love to hear that question, and frankly don’t hear it enough. Then be relentless with your initiative and follow through. Do that, and I guarantee you will find yourself at the table more than you ever imagined. And, that’s where the action is.
Are you being heard?
